I don't sell stuff on facebook marketplace but I get recommended to buy the weirdest things that I never click on or look at. So I would guess the seller experience is even worse.
- ComradePhil 5y agoOne reason may be that you have a lot of common friends who like those things or you like pages or are part of groups which has a lot of people who like those things. Ad-targeting is not supposed to work 100% for each and every one. That would be counter-productive, because the algorithm will be too conservative and not explore enough potential targets. You can improve ad-targeting for yourself by providing feedback to the model through the menu that comes after "Hide ad".
- omgmajk 5y agoI constantly hide ads that I don't like but that stuff just seems to creep back.
- datavirtue 5y agoIf you think selling is bad you should try giving stuff away. I got so tired of trying to sell on there that I started giving things away (nice things like newer battery powered weed eater, stainless gas grill, etc) and found it to be a real clusterfuck. I was just trying to give people a break and got bludgeoned for it.
