Observationally, facebook ads are the best I’ve seen by a long shot.
- autoexec 3y agoCambridge Analytica and countless scammers agree with you, but the world was just fine before facebook ads and there are plenty of other mediums through which people could continue to manipulate you if facebook ads went away entirely now. Limiting facebook to just non-personalized ads seems entirely harmless.

- rcMgD2BwE72F 3y agoI haven't seen any personalized ad for the past 5 years (at least) and yet I'm discovering great artists/bands every now and then. Advertising is a type of "content", and people like content-, but how one can say it's better than the content recommended by people not paid to promote it? One, the more people are used to get their content via ads (instead of share by friends), the least they'll be incentivize to share good content. Two, platforms that are paid by advertisers are certainly incentivize to have the best content in ads vs non ads. Why feature a video in your feed but they can be paid to push the same content from an advertiser? There are so many reasons why "some ads are great" says nothing about ads being a good thing.
