Another line of defense it to install an ad-blocker, so even if Facebook somehow knows the perfect ad to show you, you probably won't see it. Why wouldn't you

Another line of defense it to install an ad-blocker, so even if Facebook somehow knows the perfect ad to show you, you probably won't see it.
Why wouldn't you want to see it? A perfect ad is a win for the consumer.
- jiggy2011 13y agoDepends on your definition of "perfect", there are certainly a lot of highly effective ads that persuade people to buy borderline scammy products.
- troymc 13y agoA perfect ad is one I asked for, when I asked for it, like in Google or Amazon search results. I go to Facebook to check on friends. I don't want a fried-chicken billboard to appear beside the photo of my friend's new baby. It's the wrong context (even if I'm craving fried chicken).
- chii 13y agowhat if it was a baby shower gift? What if they managed to connect enough dots to know that this is what you want, and thus, make the sale via this channel?
- Evbn 13y agoThen I can ask Facebook to show me gifts and stores my friends like, and some general listings.
- gordaco 13y agoI still may not want to make the purchase via that channel. In fact, I find most important to be able to enter any web to read its content without those distractions. If I want to buy something, I'll go to any online store, thanks.
- illuminate 13y agoI love that one crazy tip from a single mom!
