I've noticed in the last 6-8 weeks that the number of 'sponsored' posts I see on Facebook have gone through the roof. And they're often for things for which I have zero - or even negative - interest.My Twitter feeds had ads every five posts or so all weekend. I kept reporting them, and they are gone this morning. Very odd.
Mrs Tif told me about a workout device called Mirror, which is basically a fancy TV you mount portrait style on your wall and do fitness things with. I did a Google search for it and looked at their website, and then went on to Facebook and the very first post on my news feed was an ad for Mirror, the first such I had ever seen on Facebook. I do not like this.
