Do you Like Facebook? Another change in ads

Facebook has been doing updates and improvements for a long time.  Their system is never stable.  The newest ‘feature’ introduced is the ‘Like’ button.

Now happy ad clickers can ‘Like’ an ad.  I for one think this is a neat idea, but it wont change anything.  There is no dislike button, so we cannot be “penalized” and if we are rewarded by ‘Like’ing our ads it wont be by much.  Users are stupid, they will like anything with a pretty picture.

Take a look at what the update brings:

What sort of bothers me, is that they made it show the ‘Like’ button on the Ad board. I don’t see the point of it, and some less then admirable affiliate marketer could abuse it more easily.

Edit : I didn’t see the X, so there is still a “dislike” button.  I am pretty stupid, so if I don’t see it my main target audience might not.

    First off, you’re a awesome guy.

    Secondly, there’s now an “X” button in the top left which when clicked will stop showing that user ads from that advertisers campaigns. Once people realize that button exists and you’re running nasty (read: high CTR) ads, good luck getting impressions.

    It’s pretty obvious that if/when your ad gets a certain number of X’s, your ad will be flagged for review – no more fat hoes in your ad pics.

    Also, “There system” should be “Their system”
