idk about facebook specifically but i'm not over the age of 65 nor do i live in a third world country so i don't use facebook |

Date: August 12th, 2026 3:52 PM Author: Cowardly Marvelous French Chef Tanning Salon don't use it either but this is a really bad development for broader adblocking efforts. the very best volunteers in the world have been overwhelmed by facebook's team
even for those who avoid facebook, it's hard to get away from marketplace as it's the only way to buy and sell used stuff now that craigslist is mostly a ghost town. |

The problem is that Facebook is getting so good at obfuscating their ad delivery that the adblocker developers are giving up on blocking ads on Facebook.
Pretty soon it will be more than Facebook that the devs give up on. |

all ads will eventually be built into AI CLI's anyway. the "world wide web" internet won't even exist in 2-3 years |

Date: August 12th, 2026 4:12 PM Author: violent histrionic roommate I have been using adblockers since 2004. It astonishes me every time I use a device without one. Can't understand how or why anyone would choose to interact with the world wide web without one, unless it was for finding medical care or something (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5892447&forum_id=2phpsessid=49d358651c#50064022) |

That's optimistic. Borderline retarded TBH.
"all ads will eventually be built into AI CLI's anyway. the "world wide web" internet won't even exist in 2-3 years"
Maybe so, maybe so. |

Date: August 12th, 2026 4:47 PM Author: frum painfully honest dilemma It's not as bad as it sounds. Facebook is unusually difficult because its ads are inserted directly into the same feed as normal posts. Facebook has some unusual advantages in that it controls the entire website, the content feed, the ad delivery system, and the code serving both ads and normal content. A random ad network appearing on thousands of unrelated websites generally doesn’t have that same degree of control.
