Because a stupid user clicks on that crap by mistake.
It is probably should already be obvious, that most of internet audience developed a habit of ignoring ads, same as TV audience did long ago, so the times of making money, like it was possible in times of debut of Google's ad-words are gone.
Almost no one clicks on an ad unless it is decorated as ordinary link, looking like a part of the site, which is plain cheating.
"Investors" who are waiting that FB will make profit on ads, well, let's say that they are naive.
- Lusake 13y agoI guess people also are making purchases and signing up by mistake after clicking on ads. Just because you ignore ads, doesn't mean others do same. FB is already making profit on ads.
- dschiptsov 13y agoClicks and sign-ups, leave alone purchases, are very different things. FB sells clicks, but a user just hits "back" button. Eventually, there will be no demand for clicks, because even being very cheap and abundant, they will not create enough money. Profit = revenue - cost. So, FB pays all its costs from selling ads? Since when?)
- jobu 13y agoMistaken clicks are probably part of it, but lots of people on Facebook are there to waste time anyway. For me, the most interesting part is that these ads are interactive (users can Report them or Like them). Hopefully Facebook will learn from Google here, and make advertisers pay more to show shitty ads.
