You'd think with all the data Facebook and Google collect, they'd be able to air some halfway relevant political ads.

Having ads I don't agree with shoved down my throat isn't going to make me change my views, it's just going to make me resent that particular group or person more.

Just a swag here, but when the purchasers selected the demographic they wanted to air the ads to, it probably wasn't, "the voters we already have in our pocket."

Stuxy, I vaguely remember talking about it with you, but why aren't you using an adblocker?

@F1973 Whoa, whoa! Slow down! Next you're going to tell me the Earth isn't flat and we're the one revolving around the Sun... Pfff

@F1973 🏐🏐

@F1973 mate not everything has to have a deeper meaning that's on some philosophical shit lmao. It's genuinely just complaining about ads not being relevant considering they collect data. It's all surface level stuff lol

Nice, @irene is chick again!

@F1973 I think you meant wiper fluid

@F1973
Gender fluid, that's like people who are more open to homosexual activity when they've had some liquid courage, right? 😋

@SortOfTested Wouldn't you have to be fairly close already to share "that"?

@F1973 You always leave before the fun even begins... *smh*

Depends on how liable you are.
It might not change your thoughts now but at least get you exposed to them.
Ads are not about change, people think you see advertisement and some fairy decides you suddenly believe in whole crap you saw.
It’s just about exposition, the more exposition you have the more probability that you find people who agree with you. At the same time the more exposition you receive the more probability that you will change your thoughts.
When you got exposed to ad your mind can remember it without your knowledge. It might be reminded to you in some unexpected moment and while you don’t agree with something right now that particular moment in future might be different cause you were exposed to many things over time.
If you go to supermarket you buy products that look familiar or look at each product and check how it’s made ? :)

@F1973 Can't strip if you're not wearing any cloth to begin with

Hot take: People buying ad placement and Facebook have different goals in who should see the ads.

Facebook needs to sell engagement, and you get more engagement from showing content that the user disagrees with. People are more likely to watch, comment, and share a flat earth video than one that discredits it.

@F1973 Let me tell you about my fluid. 🤣🤣🤣
