This morning in my newsfeed I find you boasting of your highly targeted ad system, and then glance to my left where the typical ad is placed to find taglines such as:
How I Got Skinny
21 and Overweight?
T-shirt for Math Geeks
Out of Shape at 21?
Single? Meet 5 Guys in 5 Minutes!
Awesome. Thanks for those highly targeted ads. But actually, I thought you might be interested to know that I am perfectly happy loving math, being single, and wearing my average-sized jeans.
However, on my off-days, I feel like you're taunting me. And I'm sure a lot of other people do too. I know it's just marketing for all you advertisers, but still, it attacks points of weakness for a lot of people and it's just not cool. We don't appreciate it, and you insult our intelligence when you assert that clicking on a link and ordering a product will fix our lives. Nothing's that simple. (Btw, losing 37 pounds in a month is unhealthy, if not impossible, for the vast majority of people. That would be called anorexia/bulimia, not some crazy diet plan.)
Okay, I'm done ranting.
