Default Re: Facebook WTF?

This new advertising thing sounds awesome to me. I've always been a huge fan of targeted ads because something I actually see stuff I'm interested in and I click on it. I hope they do a good job with it.

How dare they advertise for things Im interested in! I want to be forced to see ads for stuff I could not care less about!

Seriously what is it people don't like about this? Ads in general are annoying but its their frequency and intrusiveness not their specialized content that is bad.

Take a step back and view it from a different perspective for a second.

Ads in general appeal to our selfishness our greed. Personalized ads on your facebook acct. where does it stop? Will we all be wearing t-shirts in the next 20 yrs that have holographic ads that change every 20 seconds? Another issue is this desire that we as a society want all of these "unnecessary" material objects or that we have to consistenly upgrade our current possesions. The problem with this is that it causes exploitation of other countries, other human beings. Now I am not saying Capatilism is bad and I am not a Socialist but it seems things are heading in the wrong direction.

This is probably pointless to bring up in OOT but whatever.
