09 January 2017
The social network is testing mid-roll ads, that play once you've watched 20 seconds of a video.

Sort by:

Well,you get pay when you let Facebook ads in your facebook.

Everything works smoother with one, as there are no extra things to load on pages. When I get to use someone else's laptop or w/e, I'm amazed at how tiresome it is for them to watch a youtube video or browse through certain websites. Too many clicks, too much extra non-needed content displayed on the screen, my eyes just start bleeding. And my mind continuously asks the same question: why? Why not block them?

        I will not be subjected to advertising abuse. I will not be subjected to advertising abuse. I will not be subjected to advertising abuse!!

                                    What about the people who steal videos and monetise them?
                                    YouTube already has a system in place to try to stop it happening.
                                    As far as I'm aware, Facebook doesn't?

                                      Aside ads, I hate the fact it bugs me telling me what to do, trying to transform users into mindless robots, perfect to obey them and watch ads.
                                      Trying to log on as rarely as possible and thinking about deleting the account.

                                        It will be just a matter of time, until some genius creates an xposed module to block them. Just as for YouTube ads.
