      Maybe you’re missing the connection here.

      Facebook is implementing features to prevent some types of advertising, as per the article.

      Facebook allows the purchase of the exact same advertising, so long as you pay their fee.

        Hrm… I’m tempted to just cite the exact same line for a third time.

        That connection you mention would be sensible, yeah. If that were what is happening. Which as per the article, it is not. There’s even screenshots of the setup pages.

          Well I tried to show you what’s happening, I’m sorry you’re not seeing it, but I’m done. Have a nice day.

              I’m the one getting snippy? Hahaha okay.

              I read the article, I’m just commenting about the world around the article from a small step back, and I tried to help you see that.

              Have a nice day.
