In NYC, there are many pop up events including food events, which wouldn’t show up in a food directory site, but they do show up on Instagram ads.

- buckminster 7y agoMy town has a couple of stuff-happening-today directories. (Or this week or this month.) Doesn't NYC?
- alephnan 7y agoThere’s just so much going on I guess. There are times where I don’t mind FB knowing what my interests are.
- cm2012 7y agoPop-up events are likely "advertising" according to this site, which includes pretty much every form of communication or display not explicitly asked for.
- StavrosK 7y agoA few years ago, I made a website that used the Facebook API to look up events in my city (I had to manually add all the venues) and show them in a nice interface on a single page, with no ads, etc. It was amazing, I loved being able to see all the week's events in a single view. Then Facebook decided to shut down the public events API, and that was the end of the site. The morals of the story are two: You can be notified of pop up events without being data-mined, and fuck Facebook (I know, it's "their" data, but I hate it anyway).
