That's a whole lotta conspiracy with not alotta support.Especially since everything you say they 'destroyed' wouldn't have been able to exist at a profit in the first place without advertising.
This always happens. I think this is another case of the mainstream blues. Think about it, when a crazy site like Facebook goes up, everyone and their mother wants to practically make love to it (i.e. Twitter as well). Then problems arise--either the site starts to do things to piss of its users and expand it's "giantness" or its technology has a little hick up--either or.
It's the lack of ability to deal fairly with reputable advertisers that leads to the mass of scammy crap ads.If Jack Spratt is paying for fat buyers yet no one seems genuinely interested in his fat, he won't throw away any more money on ineffective fat ads. His wife, however, is selling lean of no value, and is accustomed to extremely low conversions from any source, so she'll be happy to buy scammy crap-ads to plaster all over the site. She'll just use a few naughty pictures of herself, knowing some of you at least will waste your time on her for nothing. For the people who find that offensive, she'll round out her bag of tricks with a clever game of "Punch the Monkey."@petersoncapetersonca: Even if Facebook lost all their revenue, it would still hold great value to someone who recognized the failure as mismanagement and incompetence in the face of strong opportunity. Zuckerberg just won't get the be-a-millionaire kind of offers he snubbed his nose at earlier.
He's saying the same thing already himself. How could you and 3 other people miss that?The response rate SHOULD be much lower, yet he's getting charged for clicks as if Facebook users were rabid wolves. I'd almost buy that argument given the kind of participation Facebook draws, but most of those rabid wolves use Google as well, and let's face it...of users interested in home improvement products, which service, on average, do you think will find and direct them first: the search engine, or the pictures-of-my-friends-at-a-party engine?

While it is not helping things, it is not as if without click fraud, suddenly sites like Digg, Facebook or Youtube would be profitable.

Yes, but you would be a normal person who doesn't think of yourself as the second coming of Christ.

Holy cow! You're so cool and technologically intelligent! You found a way to remove ads from Facebook. You're a genius!

People like you don't deserve to use Facebook or any website for that matter. You realize that without advertisers there would be no Facebook, right?
