The genre of people who don't work in advertising complaining about how Facebook is bad for advertising is a true HN favorite.

We get it, you don't like FB. That's fine. As an advertiser who knows that FB is far and above every other attention based ad platform (in effectiveness, transparency, scale, etc.), its like listening to nails on a chalkboard to read 90% of the comments in threads like these.

Oh yea, couldn't possibly be people hate fb and advertising.

When we see ads, it's like nails on a chalkboard (or in the eyes).

We understand you don't care what we say/think as long as you're making money just like the other 90% of advertisers who infest HN.
