interesting so they make money by the adds though right?

 

 

Yeah, that's the business model for all of them. Facebook overwhelmingly dominates the ad space and it's absolutely anti competitive.

 

Thought so, Cracks me up how I get adds for DOG TOYS etc... due to LG M

Truly creeps me out at times when they alert me that someone I MAY know is on there
but then again there are MANY NOSEY people who would jump on that oooooh lets go see what so n so has posted?

 

Been taking a break from instagram haven't opened for weeks, today they email me telling me to OPEN IT
showing previews of some of the 's I'm missing since the alerts that someone has posted for the first time in a while or someone I MIGHT know is on there, haven't worked
Makes me even less interested now to go back, are they really worried about loosing one cutomer

 

Um, that's a little creepy of them telling you to open the app. Jeez.

They're always watching

 

 

more than a little

like when I just LOOK @ an item on line then not order it & I get an email ( Still interested or Did you forget about this? )

 

Yes I just got one of those emails the other day! So annoying. And like you said, creepy.
