Not to nitpick, but the author worked at FB from 2011-2013. He was there when FB's ad platform really started to find legs.

In those years FB ads was a toddler compared to the platform of today, I worked with FB ads at the time and until 2013-2014 too (author went to Nanigans after FB)

For starters, today's platform is completely mobile focused. FBX (product the author worked on) was entirely desktop inventory.
