There was a time when I purposely unblocked Facebook ads because they were actually showing me some interesting content and products in a fairly non-invasive way.

And occasionally I still get those but lately almost all ads I see are some interesting headline that then takes me to a page with an for nonsense products every paragraph and an extremely fluffy article to tell me that dinosaurs had feathers / the Romans had steam engines or something similar.

Yeah, I remember good ads there. Used to be the only reason I went on Facebook. I just checked to see what ads it would show these days. They were terrible and 4-5 of them had some hilarious typos in them.
