I want to buy every single thing I see here. I've been really happy with the kind of ads I've been seeing lately. Instead of generic commercials I'm getting very specific products solving problems I have but didn't realize could be solved by a gadget.

I turned off my adblocker for Facebook as the ads started being far more relevant to me. Lots of interesting games or hackathons or nifty tools.

  I use Brave and love my ad-free life.

  Facebook seems to put a lot of effort into making ads hard to block too.

  I'm in the same boat. Normally I despise ads, but the ones on facebook I'm seeing I have actually clicked on to learn more. Not a robot, hate facebook to the core, but some of the ads I get are interesting.

  I almost never check Facebook and when I do, I only login in a private tab, but even from this sandbox, Facebook somehow has the best ads for me by far. I actually get very little value from the normal content, but I’d probably even sign up for a newsletter of their ads for me. Edit: They always seem to have very cool Kickstarters for me, for example, so then later I’ll try to go right to the source, but I’ve never found something good myself on Kickstarter.

This reads like a subliminal message from John Carpenter’s “They Live”. I hope it’s sarcasm :)

  If you can't beat them, join them? I for one, welcome our benevolent advertising overloards. /s

  Eh. There are a lot of ads. A lot of it is nonsense. But: there are some diamonds in the rough. Do I really need another novelty tank top? No. Would I rather have an ad for a novelty tank top versus going back to the TV days and getting an ad for vitamins for senior citizens? No—give me my targeted ads, versus ads for drugs for old people.

  I found a t-shirt brand that actually has well fitting, nicely colored, comfortable shirts. They shrink in my dryer so I have to hang-dry, but I have been buying some things I find on there.
