Facebook’s ramped the ad volume up to every 4th newsfeed item and its pitching B2B software and suddenly crypto, in a way that makes it look like Meta is concerned with not looking like they’re leveraging Facebook exclusivity for their own coin, like how they were coming after Microsoft for leveraging Windows towards IE
So I guess to compensate for getting it right earlier Facebook is pitching me a wand rack for all my Harry Potter wands now
Facebook ads seem to have settled by now that I’m a hobby farmer worth pitching on a pilot program to start growing Japanese produce, which in terms of the mentality with which I find things interesting enough to click through on not bad, I guess
Like, I have in fact used my credit card to pay a tree-clearing crew, buy bedloads of landscaping material, and put deposits on custom plantings lately, I do follow the local consulate, and I do have recent web history looking at state college agricultural extension programs (for blueberry stuff) and browsing around rural real estate, this is a 100% reasonable inference

I have been getting this ad for an AI to write my posts for a week now and I have to admit, I’m getting curious
Getting a Facebook ad for “goPuff”, an alcohol delivery app going til 4:30 AM
I remember when I was in LA there was some after-hours liquor service that only went til 2AM (bar closing time, for what it’s worth it’s 2:30 in Portland, in both cases they often do last call around 30 minutes earlier) but it had to put its phone number on flyers on poles.
With how psychically targeted the Facebook ads have been lately, a little ominous to see one offering to teach me the signs of atrial fibrillation
WotC putting a lot into Facebook ads mean I sometimes get noticed looking at them and my feed becomes even more full of third-party M:tG ads (card sales on eBay, tournaments at a shop in town), that’s interesting
This is almost certainly based on ads with a shot of some card interspersed with flashes of ad flavor that I inevitability watch through twice to get enough time to read the card text

Fucking hilarious that the Facebook algorithm recognizes (from my battery, I assume) that I was thinking of cleaning my charging port and getting a new good USB plug and the “I useta be a Green Beret” lifestyle brand it’s showing me, “Zero Foxtrot”, is all about endorsing yourself as a violent disposable object
