Hey guys, I just wanted to say that it looks completely natural that a short sarcastic post about social media in general gets followed by two suppressing posts that very specifically defend Facebook, completely have each others backs and also delivers a little ad hominem.

If you are trying to imply that I am shilling for FB or a FB employee, you are welcome to DM me, and I can send you an email from my work address as a proof (which is another known big tech company, one of those that don't have their own ad platform, so I literally have no horse in this race).

Did you find anything factually wrong with what I said about how running FB ads works? Because you just accused me of being a shill, but you weren't able to provide a counterpoint to any factual things I've said in my original comment.

Also, I am not defending FB. I literally said they have plenty legitimate things to be criticized for. But with baseless accusations about FB like the ones higher in the thread, they just cause legitimate criticism to get washed out and get lumped along with baseless accusations.
