I just checked, and Facebook is advertising "The Uber of Snow Plows" to me. I can't be influenced because I don't have a clue what it is. Next ad is "Liberty Tax Service", which is guaranteed not to sell me anything because I do my own taxes and am unwilling to pay anything since the Intuit scandal. Next one is trolling for victims of "clergy abuse"; I've gone to church maybe 2-3 times in my life and don't know any clergy. Next is sildenafil, next is State Farm, next is Taco Bell, all of which I am extremely aware of existing and do not plan to ever purchase.

There are a bunch of things relative to my interests as a consumer, because I follow some local businesses. But they aren't strictly speaking ads. The ads are complete garbage.
