Well, exactly, and that's why IMO they'll end up pulling out the EU. There's barely any money in non-targeted ads.

If by "barely any money", you mean "all the businesses in the EU will still give you all their money as long as you've got eyeballs", then yes.

Facebook has shown me ads for both dick pills and breast surgery, for hyper-local events in town in a country I don't live in, and for a lawyer who specialises in renouncing a citizenship I don't have.

At this point, I think paying Facebook to advertise is a waste of money — the actual spam in my junk email folder is better targeted.

If only we’d be so lucky. I don’t thing they will, but fingers crossed.

If it's more money than it costs to operate, I doubt it. There's plenty of businesses in the EU buying ads and page promotion still.
