News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I turned off my adblocker for Facebook as the ads started being far more relevant to me.

Lots of interesting games or hackathons or nifty tools.

I almost never check Facebook and when I do, I only login in a private tab, but even from this sandbox, Facebook somehow has the best ads for me by far.

I actually get very little value from the normal content, but I’d probably even sign up for a newsletter of their ads for me.

Edit: They always seem to have very cool Kickstarters for me, for example, so then later I’ll try to go right to the source, but I’ve never found something good myself on Kickstarter.

I'm in the same boat. Normally I despise ads, but the ones on facebook I'm seeing I have actually clicked on to learn more. Not a robot, hate facebook to the core, but some of the ads I get are interesting.

I use Brave and love my ad-free life.

Facebook seems to put a lot of effort into making ads hard to block too.
