Yea but people don’t spend a lot of time on weiner dog forums, even weiner dog owners. People want to advertise to customers where the customers actually go.

People want to advertise to customers where the customers actually go. Customers actually go to Facebook not weiner dog forums.
Don’t use Facebook if you don’t like the value proposition. I’m guessing most people who complain about tracking on HN don’t use Facebook properties anyways.
- jtbayly 4y agoIf you want to be tracked, go ahead and turn it on! That’s up to you.
- Nextgrid 4y ago> People want to advertise to customers where the customers actually go But do those customers want to see the advertising? People primarily go on Facebook to connect & keep up with their friends. Being able to advertise is not some kind of right, nor is being in business. If your business isn't sustainable without stalking people (or paying a third-party to do that for you), maybe you shouldn't be in business.
- kurupt213 4y agoThis is a bad arguement. People who want products and services go to Google and search for them. Then, after the purchase has been made, your web experience is filled with ads for the product you already bought.
- russiasux 4y agoThis is because Google wants to sell ads for impressions advertisers don't want and restricts their ability to filter out users who LOOK like people who might but stuff, but are actually people who bought stuff already. No advertiser wants to advertise a product someone already bought to that customer... And yet that's the default (and nearly impossible to eliminate entirely).
