Which is sad because in the end Facebook is all about showing ads to people who don't want to see them.
Well just think of Facebook's next product. They make everyone wear VR headsets, then sell "in your face" ads.
They will make billions :(
Rather the opposite - Facebook want to show adverts only to the people who want to see them. Anything else is just stupid, why on earth would anyone pay to advertise to people who don't want to see my adverts?
Does anybody actually like seeing ads when they are browsing around Facebook? Who thinks to themselves 'I feel like buying something, let's log in to Facebook and maybe a random ad will come up for something that I want'. If people want to spend money, don't they just search for it or hit up Amazon? I wonder, if given the option to show adverts when you first sign up - how many people would select it?
Wrong. They show adverts based on personal information (groups, friends, events, etc.) used incredulously to target folks of interest. That doesn't mean that person wants to see an ad regarding a band they have on their profile.
Not anymore.
Can you name 5 of those 100?
But there is only one guy who created Doom :)
That game entertained and inspired (arguably) an entire generation of future geeks like most of us.
