That’s FB. The only things that can be faked are by FB or their ‘approved’ partners (ie those who pay). So fake markets, fake ads, fake profiles, fake followers… All cleverly disguised to create the feeling of interactivity. In reality, much is faked on FB. We, however, can’t post fake profiles or fake news, it…
Well, it turns out you shouldn’t call out FB to reduce the spam and fakery… it will come back to bite you on the proverbial ass. Turns out the FB AI algos blocked my account. I honestly don’t really know why. Apparently, I was trying to impersonate a brand account (I’m not even sure what…
I recommend gentle warming, not scorched Earth policy. Cream is unnecessary and fake, anyway. The caramel sauce is weird. The actual cake is pretty good. Don’t get it scorched by Starbucks!

I think I might have guessed that one…
FB ignores my ad preferences. Confirmed. They decided to show me any irrelevant crap… so I report each and every one for any reason. They also ignore my stated preferences, all the information they have about me, and all my reports about fake pages. so I am now reporting every single finance ad that is…
I’m beginning to see a theme. Well, I guess it’s better than stupid spam or scam ads or fake investment gurus or fake investment-related fan sites from local celebrities. I should post some of them!
Yet time and time again, I get adverts that are basically either soliciting contact details for frauds or are actively falsely advertising as being connected to a celebrity or are advertising fake work scams. In fact, some people ended up being murdered by human traffickers not too far from where I live. Social media doesn’t…
