    Trust me, fb ads are way worse than it used to be. Mine is flooded with celebrities advertising scams in the ads, in my region.

    “Hi, I’m [some celebrity name]. When I was young, I didn’t have money, but investing on stocks changed my life! …”

    These scammers use ChatGPT to generate millions of these and fb is now chaos because admins can’t do anything, I tried reporting and tuning ad preferences, but there’s no solution because they are literally flooding the platform. These even aren’t copy pastes because the AI generates a huuuge variety of them. The fact that the ad posts mimics actual posts (by fb’s deliberate design) doesn’t help.

    And I hate celebrities, so seeing their face already makes my day a bad one.

      Haha I love seeing celebrities in movies and TV but yeah, anywhere else, the extreme celebrity-worship in this country just depresses the fuck outta me.
