Perhaps I'm missing something but I don't see or don't recognize any ads. Is this just because you're using the app whereas I'm using a browser with an ad blocker? Or do you see ads more when you poke around looking at groups and games and whatever (I just spend a few minutes a week looking at friends posts and rarely comment or post any of my own content;i really only joined for Messenger)

You don't see ads on Facebook?
It must be the ad blocker. 70% of the real estate via browser is ad based.
Those ads don't include promoted posts from pages you elected to follow.
The majority of content on FB is promotional.
Holy crap! I had no idea.
What? Not sure what has inspired your sarcasm.
I and another poster are discussing the UX experience which differs between browser with ad-blocker and other versions.
Thy kind of sarcasm is not really meant for HN. Do you have an opinion of substance?

Maybe dhimes uses adblock and literally had no idea that there were ads on FB. I have been using ABP for about a year and never see ads on FB. I literally had no idea that 70% of the real estate is filled with ads either until you said something about it.
You are correct.
Then yeh...HN is not really that kind of space.
I don't understand this comment. Backing out of your apology? Perhaps you should have a gander at how long I've been here before you become HN cop.
Perhaps I misunderstand this comment. I use adblock on Facebook. I don't see all of the ads in your imgur pic. I seriously had no idea it was so advertisement-laden.
Then I apologise for the snark. I thought it was sarcasm.
Here is a look into FB without ad blocker
