A long-time Facebook hold-out, I finally got around to registering earlier this week - mainly to keep in touch with some people I've met through a very good friend of mine who has moved to Vancouver.
As I'm sure I don't need to tell all six-billion of you conformist sheep, a small unobtrusive ad typically runs just to the left of any profile you happen to be viewing. Sometimes this is an invitation to join a Facebook group. Mostly, drawing on the demographic information you provide, you see ads that are more-or-less specifically aimed at you.
Clearly Facebook has decided I'm one pathetic mook. Half the ads I see are for dating services, telling you how to get girls or find hot women over 30 in Toronto. Gee, thanks a lot. I guess finding a hot chick under 30 simply isn`t in the cards, though I can`t decide if this is just Facebook being moralistic or pragmatic. Plus, who clicks on an ad that gives you shit for being 36 and still single? When did my Mom start working for Facebook?
Most of the rest of the ads are for fitness equipment, gym memberships, dietary supplements, hair removal and contact lenses. Oh, the postive affirmation just keeps on coming.
Fuck you, Facebook.
