[poll] Thoughts on new FB Ads system

I may be a little late to the party but i only recently realized that they are removing the "interests, demographics, behaviors, etc" filter for creating ads ( custom audience ). I think its pandering to the thousands of soccer moms who want to push their shitty etsy pages. Who are willing to throw 50 dollars a week at ads for their bead bracelets...but what do i know? I also know its an attempt to make up for the giant data breach that they just had. Still, i think its a big middle finger to advertisers.

If you are just now hearing this from me, here is an article that covers it pretty well. (not affiliated)

Actually, we've got a Facebook (Ads) PPC subforum, which I've moved this thread to. The other Facebook subforum is more for general discussions.

lol, english is a hard language to wrap the brain around. We have alot of rules that arent really rules...more like guidelines.

so how do we use the new rules for ads to our advantage, what you guys thinking?
