This is just an opportunity for Facebook to show twice as many ads as usual.

It's sad, but I really do feel bad for the people who use Facebook nowadays. When I have to look at the job market again, I'm really not looking forward to having to (a) sign up in the first place, (b) have that stupid like button following me around everywhere again and (c) have to become "friends" with people that I really don't want to see anymore.

And then they bought Oculus VR. Seriously?

How does it let them show more ads? Users already spend a huge amount of their time on mobile devices in the Facebook app. One user can only pay attention to one app at a time.

I guess not on iOS, but on Android you have to go through a few more steps to "chat" -- home > messenger app > search contacts > chat, versus just tapping a button. That is 2 more screens worth of ads to go through.

I have never seen an ad in messenger.
