Is that it gives you targeted adverts. Since it knows I'm engaged, this means I get a (near*) constant stream of adverts for wedding dresses, quirky wedding services and endless, endless weight loss. And the occasional pregnancy one - I'll have you know there are no shotguns in sight of this wedding!
I make it a point to never click on these things - it will only encourage them - but the one I just saw is testing my resolve. A decidedly webcamish picture of a woman in a strappy top holding a plate of... something. "Lose 1 stone of belly fat per day with this 1 weird diet tip".
...
...
...
Seriously? 1 stone? 14 pounds? 6kg?
In a day?
Short of contracting the services of 14 moneylenders on a particularly brief repayment period, I'm at a loss as to what this tip is going to be.
I really want to click it... It's like the time I got that spam entitled "erotic glass art".
Now life will have two unanswered mysteries :0(
*There's one in my current rotation which is for "Nordic jobs" or similar, looking for people who speak Scandiwegian languages. I'm not sure I actually told Facebook I studied Finnish, so that one's a little spooky.
