You may not see ads, but that doesn’t mean Facebook isn’t making money.

Advertising is a major part of Facebook’s business model, and the platform uses information about user interactions to personalize advertising.

Adblock just hides the ads, it doesn’t stop them from collecting your data. They still track everything you do on Facebook, plus all the other sites with their pixel on them, and most people don’t even use an adblocker so they’re fine.

Facebook probably makes less from you than from someone without a blocker, but it still makes some, and the blocker doesn’t stop everything.

Whether I search for something or have certain interests, is Facebook still secretly collecting all of my behavior without me knowing?

Yes, Meta collects activity data such as searches, clicks and interactions to personalize content and ads. You can review and limit some tracking in your privacy settings.

Hi everyone
If everyone uses some kind of ad-blocking software, then how do websites make money? For example, I use Adblock Plus and I never see ads on Facebook. How does Facebook make money from me?

As long as you're a real active user, reading, liking, viewing, sharing..., you're already putting money in their pocket

Facebook still values you even if you block ads. The content you post and your activity on Facebook helps the platform better understand user preferences, thereby improving ad delivery to others.
