> So advertise, but just not on FB?

Yes exactly. Advertising in a relevant forum is both on topic there and not infringing anyone's privacy.

Doing anything well is hard work. Facebook is just the easy cop out method to cut corners.

Not really.. I know many mom & pop forums that had symbiotic relations with a particular vendor. Sponsorship for the forum, special pricing for forum members.. Stuff like that.

That's a very different thing to just dumping ads on people because they looked at one video about a dog.

Of course such forums have become pretty extinct recently but for some interests they are still there.
