They made $120 billion US last year.
They claim 3 billion uses.
So, do the math.
I'm picturing a bumbling idiot that clicks every ad.
My fiance absolutely loves clicking on ads, exclusively on Facebook. It's terrible. I finally switched her over to Firefox with Ublock on Android but Facebook changes ad patterns so regularly they make it through probably 75% of the time regardless. Still, less tracking scripts for her now 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah my partner often clicks on facebook ads. Sometimes even buys whatever they're selling. It's exclusively junk.
