I am very very happy to look at all the ads and even personalised ones, as long as those are not overly obnoxious and mostly (obviously-)scammy.

If I have to scroll through endless ocean of ad with my actual priority(friends and family posting something) drowned out at the very bottom of my feed, I will naturally stop clicking any ads.

All we need is a balance, overwhelming and making my feeds/timeline flooded w/ random ads is not really helpful and as a sane person, I am very happy to text my freinds and family and create whatsapp group to keep in contact.

Perhaps you can install a browser extension that will send all your data to any ad companies that you want to receive personalized ads from? And then login on their website to view said ads?

This sounds like the best solution since it will not bother the rest of us who don't want to be tracked.

non-personalised ads != random ads

It is still perfectly possible to place ads in meaningful contexts.

While possible, fb is in the business of high margin and hyperscale.

I would add that personalised ads != less random ads.

Mapping the context to the ads is likely far superior in convertion.

But once again, fb is in the business of high margin and already figured out personalised ads based on profiling is the most profitable strategy.
