But if you block ads on Facebook, then what will you read? When I accidentally go to my profile, it's a post from someone I actually follow for every 20 sponsored posts. It's a website to watch ads, then every once of a while your ad viewing session is interrupted by some real content
The rest is "suggested" content. It's not an ad, just posts from accounts the algorithm thinks you should see.
If I don't like it and there's no way to tell them to never show me irrelevant shit, then, while not technically an ad, it's practically an ad
