Are there even people who like ads, period?

  of course there are. Instagram made a special feature so that people who wanted to just browse ads could do that. It was very very popular with a certain group of people.

    hmmmm when you think about, everything is an ad. Put more simply, everything is "content" and all content has an agenda. I guess an ad is just a particular type of content with a particular type of agenda.

      no it's not. FB ads are force-fed content that nobody asked for. I'll take a ad-free subscription service over that any day so I can keep my freedom to spend my attention on things I actually want, not someone else's random garbage. Unfortunately, this arm-twisting ad-supported model is the only one available in the US on all socials, so I had to suffer through it because there is no choice, but now I'm pretty much out, I have no patience for this "ads" garbage anymore in my life.

        You kind of went on a rant there. You didn't really explain how ads aren't a form of content. You just expressed how you don't like ads.

          very confused. you said "all content is ads" now you are arguing the opposite saying "all ads are content". ads are a subset of content that is typically fed to you against your will, is that better?
