The next step is the AI generated avatar interacting with the product in the ad 🤢 so you and your clanker can chat about how much you each love your newly purchased [insert product here]
There's exactly one option to opt-out of Facebook/Meta advertising: stop using their products.
WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL USING THAT SHIT?
Simple: don't do AI shit
Much more simple: don't use Meta anything.
Yeah. I mean. Are you shocked they don't let you use their products while opting out of their only revenue model?
Sounds like a great time for malicious compliance.
