If I'm the product then I'm a lousy one for anyone buying it - since I have FB filtered down to just show friends posts.
Even if everything in your FB profile is a lie, your friends then provide the demographic information about you. eg you are going to similar to them.
And because you are on Facebook, you are now available to the advertisers.
Being in their web has value for them, even if you consciously try to avoid being of value.
Making users think they got the better of them is part of the business model. The only way to win is not to play.
