Ads (or the lack thereof)
I have been dutifully watching my facebook page for ads which tell me that somebody I don't know knows way more about me than they should. But they haven't shown up yet. I get ads about advertising your business (which I don't care to do because I haven't got one), and then all sorts of boring things my friends like, like verizon wireless. I assume this is because I'm a boring person and hardly do anything on the computer, and I don't click like on everything that I actually do like on fb, so maybe they don't know too much about me. Or they just majorly picked up on the fact that I'm boring. Or they think I'm a computer illiterate lady who didn't post the year of her birth on purpose, and therefore the safest bet is boring stuff. Who knows. There are even a lot of days when there isn't a single ad on my facebook. I'm not complaining though. I prefer to keep it this way.

I agree with you, the ads are a tad bit annoying. Is this how Facebook makes their money? I always wondered that. But I think the ads could go, nobody actually wastes their time clicking on them anyways.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is how facebook makes their money. While I understand that they must make some sort of profit, I find their mode of profit from selling advertisers space on fb so they can find out stuff about us and then aim certain adds at us to be a little disturbing. But I guess that's just part of being on the internet.
