To someone like me who has not used Facebook in over half a decade and finds the organization creepy, this is most certainly the opposite of a selling point.

As long as I'm seeing ads, I'd rather them be relevant. Just my $0.02. But if you're avoiding the platform altogether I get that.

Fair enough. My preference is different. I don't care about seeing ads, and I couldn't care less if they're "relevant" or not. But I strongly object to the data collection required to target ads and want it to stop.

Sorry if this comes off as rude, but do you have a financial relationship with repixel?

That sounds backwards. If my ad blocker fails and I'm forced to see an ad, I want it to be as irrelevant as possible to minimize its effect.
