If anyone's ever clicked on an ad on Facebook not-by-accident, I would love to know.

Invariably Facebook's ads are either a) highly non-relevant [the vast majority of ads], or b) I already know about what they're advertising. I even try to help, to make the ads relevant: every so often, I go through Facebook's list of my interests to weed out the many ridiculous inferences Facebook has made about me. I bet that's more than 99% of the Facebook population does!



I find interesting stuff through Facebook ads all the time. It's on a level that I often miss that it's actually sponsored content and not from a page I like.
