Absolutely. I have never, to my mind, benefitted from a “relevant” ad.
I work in advertising. I have heard it all, and all of it essentializes an unrealistically infantile and helpless audience. If the audience is so helpless, how could we even reason they have the means to purchase the product being advertised? It really makes no sense.
The answer is extremely easy for me: Give me the irrelevant ads and stop collecting my data.
Well they are only using your data now for ranking your organic news feed and other operational purposes (such as catching fraud which, I hope, you will believe is a big problem on social networks).
Unless now you are like I don't even want FB to rank the news feed and show me posts from fraudulent accounts..
1. I am not on FB. I think i made it clear that I do not support their company or product.
2. I do NOT want FB to rank the newsfeed. It should be deleted or ranked by time. The more parts of a social media product handed over to a ranking or search or algorithmic feed, the more chance they have for anti-user patterns: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/may/08/social-me...
3. How would a fraudulent account show up on a feed? I'm actually curious. Do they need to be friended first?
