Ask HN: How would you target people on Facebook who are admins of large pages?

Targeting Page Admins is a standard targeting option on Facebook, but how would you extend this targeting to only get page admins of pages with e.g. +50K likesI'm thinking of indirect ways, like e.g. above average ad spend, part of business manager etc. but these don't seem to be an option.Any creative ideas?

You can't buy skills, you can only nurture them. To do so, engage in conversations: Go to discussion clubs, book clubs, meetups etc. Talk and mostly listen! It's not a matter of money, it's a matter of dedication!

The magic lies in defining the real problem. What we call a solution is a mere back and forth between abstraction and concretisation of knowledge surrounding a problem/observation.
