Suddenly Facebook becomes a more valuable company than Google. People willingly give Facebook all kinds of juicy data that they have no problem selling ads for. Unless there is some kind of heavy penalty for this behavior (that can't become a "cost of doing business" and passed onto other businesses), all of these changes will just make Facebook more profitable.
- drxzcl 6y agoMaybe, but the ads I get on Facebook are a horror show of not really interesting almost garbage offerings. For all the data they have, they do a piss poor job of presenting me with enticing opportunities. I’ll take context/search relevant ads on google and Adsense every day.
- rblatz 6y agoSomehow Facebook got the idea that I would be into non alcoholic drink mixers. They showed me so many ads for this class of product that I would absolutely never buy. It was like half a year of those irrelevant ads. Facebook advertising is a dumpster fire from my perspective.
- skinkestek 6y agoSeems we get different ads: From 2006 until about last summer Google only served me useless ads. Facebook on the other hand managed to pick a number of ads that were in fact interesting. I have bought through them a couple of times which is quite amazing given that I think I easily spend 100 times more on Google properties or web properties with Google ads.
