I've noticed the ads, I can't complain, I make money from them on WP. In fact I've just sent an arsey email to them telling them I'm moving because I'm dissatisfied with fall in revenue. I'm sure they're fleecing me and keeping a huge chunk of it for themselves.

I've also paid @teamhumble to create an ad for me for use on my blog, so I have just suck up their presence!

Encouraging that the adds are targeted - in the good ole' ineffective way they're always targeted - by showing me what I've just bought online!

@soyrosa mentioned something in a recent comment about an adblocker you can use anyway.

Facebook earns over 90% of its revenue from ads.

Centralized platforms most definitely fleece their users. That's because they have owners to pay dividends to. The users of decentralized platforms like Steem are the owners, which is why we can expect to get paid but also to invest and tolerate risk.

Yes, the ad targeting. I read somewhere that contextual targeting makes a lot more sense than trying to build a massive profile of the target including digging into their purchase history and all.
