I admit too that Facebook's ads are the most relevant and most tasteful from any site I've used. For example, from a Facebook ad I found out about battery-backed generators that are capable of charging an electric vehicle. Facebook's ads, in my opinion, also tend to be non-annoying. I haven't had to deal with video ads, ads that interfere with the user experience, and grotesque ads featuring toenail fungus and creepy-looking images.
My complaint with Facebook, though, has more to do with the live feed algorithm recommendations, where I have to sift through memes and other viral posts I'm not interested in as well as viral political posts that often post misinformation. I miss the old days of Facebook where my feed was strictly limited to posts from my friends, plus the occasional ad.
- RajT88 3y agoReally? Facebook, while not the worst or most tasteless ads, are overwhelmingly scammy in my feed.* "Going out of business" sales for fast fashion websites only a month old. Crowdfunding projects which obviously are just clones other products. Items with a slick video which if you buy them from any other place, they cost half to a third the price. *last I used Facebook for any significant amount of time, which has been a while.
- celestialcheese 3y agoDo you run a pi-hole or other ad blocking on your network? Or do you have personalized ads turned off in your facebook settings? This could be why you see less targeted ads. Scams, high-ctr and broad appeal ads thrive in places where targeting doesn't exist because their margins can support it. Watch a show on cable or broadcast these days for an example of this.
