Facebook's whack-a-mole markup battle against ad blokers
I feel like I've been shitting on Facebook over the past few weeks and here's yet another reason. Monetisation drives them more than anything and here they are butchering what gets delivered to you in order to ensure ads get maximum exposure. Perhaps if their business model, advertising platform and general conduct was more ethical they could offer a better experience.
I long for the day of unpersonalised ads.
