Do you look at the ads on Facebook?

I read an article today about a man who gave up Facebook and what happened as a result. One of the benefits he listed was saving money. He would click on the ads and buy stuff he didn’t really need. 

I thought this was odd since I’ve been on Facebook for over 10 years and you can count on the fingers of one hand how many times I’ve looked at an ad on purpose. The only purchase I made was a t-shirt.

  1. If I came across some ads that can pique my interest, I would click those. But seldom that I buy an item. Though I know that ads are a good strategy to get sales. I know that some of my officemates frequently buy items from online stores.

    For me ads are okay, I just don’ t those ads that want pop-up or pop-under.

  2. I pay attention to ads and sometimes click on them, but I’m very good at holding myself from buying. Fortunately, I mostly waste time there, not money… ?
