Yeah, I think Facebook has the better algorithms for knowing what I'm interested in.
I use Instagram more than Facebook but quite a few times I've seen ads for things that have caught my attention. I've even bought something because of one.
I've never bought anything by looking at a Google ad. They are almost always something I know about already. What good is an ad for something I know about?
- pbhjpbhj 3y agoThis is how brand advertising works, it's psychological 'trickery' to try and associate that brand with what people find positive, such associations influence us when we make buying choices or when we react to other people's buying choices. For many years I thought I was immune to such ads, but really I think we are all affected by them -- increased desire for 'things', with reduced happiness for anyone who can't or won't buy them.

Not sure how cursing at highly repetitive ads that aren’t relevant to me is a considered “positive”.
- anthonypasq 3y agoeveryone on HN somehow thinks they are too smart for ads. get over yourself.
- worrycue 3y agoSo far YouTube's ads haven't convinced me to invest - much less invest with those advertised companies; frankly, I would probably go to my bank if I were to get into investing, I mean I already trust them with my money.
