Today Facebook newsroom announced that they are offering to users a new way to control, ads and also updating them to bypass adblockers.Yes, you heard it right! They will start to bypass adblockers, basically after this update, you will see ads on your facebook even if you are using an adblocker on your browser, but they will allow users to opt-out of ad targeting. My thoughts on this? Forcing users to see their ads it’s not a good move by Facebook, but,at least you have an option to control them, so you’ll see only what you want to see.
See the video below how opt-out works..

But I understand that anyone using them probably wasn't going to buy from me anyway lol Facebook switching it up so that adblockers won't be blocking the ads won't do much I think. People who are using the adblockers will just set up their facebook profiles so that they don't see the ads while the other people won't know any difference. But I have noticed that sometimes I stumble upon a nice little gem when reading an ad and clicking through. Most of the time these gems are from websites that I can get an ad on and make money off of their traffic lol
hmmm I don't know how I feel about this. On one hand I hate ads with a passion, but on the other I love them because they are mine lol :D
I hate adblockers when I'm running an advertising campaign :D But I understand that anyone using them probably wasn't going to buy from me anyway lol :D Facebook switching it up so that adblockers won't be blocking the ads won't do much I think.

Facebook switching to the adblockers not working won't do much for them. It's not like they're going to make an extra million dollars a day because they can bypass the adblockers. People will figure it out and just edit their settings to make sure they don't see the ads. You're not going to convince someone to keep the ads on there if they were comfortable not seeing them lol :D
I've been "tricked" into buying stuff online because I never use an ad blocker. But it's my own fault for buying and I can't get mad at the advertiser lol. I do have an adblocker, I just don't have it activated at the moment lol :D But I have noticed that sometimes I stumble upon a nice little gem when reading an ad and clicking through. Most of the time these gems are from websites that I can get an ad on and make money off of their traffic lol :D

Basically, I don't think this bypass would last as there are some really smart people whom will always find workarounds for anything. People hate seeing ads everywhere, tired of getting viruses, and fed up with the autoplaying loud advertisements as well. And that is the reason why Adblocker was created. Oh no, I don't think so.. tisk tisk Facebook. If they are pressing advertisements on their users whether or not they use an adblocker then I'm absolutely certain a lot will leave the website. Facebook has now officially turned into to "AdBook". However, i do wonder if they are aware that there is many ways to get around their bypass. For instance, I could block the entire URL that the ad fetches from..
