I wonder how many dollars have been spent on bombarding you specifically with shit you're (probably) not interested in, instead of just randomly doing so (with a chance of success).

I don't know about Facebook (I don't use it) - but YouTube adverts do nothing but make me hate the products being advertised (and yes I give as much feedback as it will let me).

Edit: Fortunately I find Nigel Farage trying to sell me financial products fairly amusing...

are facebook ads pay per click or pay per impression?

Both, they have several pricing models. Also cost per like, and cost per conversion (download). Maybe more.

Per click

But it's this weird thing where if the click:impression ratio goes down, the clicks get more expensive (at least in was in ~18 when I last ran them).
