Last two things I got from FB Ads:

"Smart" Wallet in Nov 2019: Never arrived. Owner now keeps posting dramatic posts without issuing anyone a refund.

Bamboo Socks: Never arrived. No email after the first order confirmation last year. No nothing.

Last 10 things I bought from FB ads. All arrived and our family loves it.

Anecdotes are just that - one off instances. What matters is the trend. And a lot of users buy from Facebook Ads and are happy with it. That is why Facebook revenue keeps growing at 25% yoy on a massive base of $70B.

HN has gone nuts. Downvoted to oblivion when quoting figures from quarterly reports.

You don't vehemently boycott everything that is advertised to you? P:

I tried that for a while. Then I realized I spend most of my time on Twitter, FB, etc. hiding or deleting ads. So I just deleted all of my social media accounts.

Neither are you. You get brainwashed like the rest of us.
