I'm completely unsurprised. I cannot be the only sucker in here who bought something off of a Facebook ad, and got a token piece of China-shipped junk instead. Mine was a video of a steel light saber being disassembled and put together, with all working parts. I was stupid, I paid $30 for it, and a month later, a box from China shows up with a $1 plastic sword.

After that, I started commenting on every Facebook scam ad I saw, and guess what? That just got me into the queue for MORE scam ads! Facebook sees me commenting "SCAM" on ads about cheap Legos, and it says "Hey, this guy likes cheap Lego scam ads!"

Plus, these ads go to different sites, have different company names, and different images every time, but they are the EXACT same scam, guaranteed. It's like Facebook is incapable of having a legitimate and ethical advertising business at some genetic level, and all the money from these obvious scam ads is just too good.

This shit is so prevalent and so brazen, I've considered setting up my own scam ad, maybe sell a Qanon book that's blank and say "Fuck you, idiot" inside... I mean, why not? It seems like people are getting rich by fucking over Facebook users, and Facebook LOVES it!

They have such utter contempt for their users. And here I am still using it because it's the only platform I can see pictures of my family members on, as they are non-technical users. Am I supposed to run some kind of internal family campaign to get them all to move to some non-existent alternative? I hate this so much. I feel trapped by Zuck's heartless machine.
