Facebook videos will have ads in the middle

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

    Does any of the ads consume data?

      Doesn't bother me, to be honest. Already got used to the ads on YouTube, other websites and on the games I play on, so Facebook won't be a problem.

        YouTube and now Facebook kills advertising because they make ads so extremely annoying forcing everyone to install adblockers!

                Everybody needs money, eventually. How long would the stock valuation be justified, otherwise?

                      Oh well. If adblockers won't be able to kill that, like they do on YouTube, I just won't watch any videos. And I doubt my friends will want to share them. I disabled autoplay in FB settings anyway. Your loss, Facebook.

                          Yes, keep justifying the fact I only use FB for apps that don't sync with Google. Thank you Mark, I knew you would do it again.

                              Finally got one reason to close my FB account! Yes!

                                Seriously considering dumping FB altogether, especially now.

                                Haven't been on it for weeks. Still get the garbage advertisements in my email though.

                                      That really sucks for people who actually use Facebook. Fortunately, I'm not one of them. And they just keep giving me reasons to stay away.
