People on the internet are too used to having everything for free. But then they also want no ads and trackers. Do they expect everything to be built by some slaves or by volunteers?

I just don't get why this should be an unpopular opinion at all.

p.s. I don't use Facebook. Or any other social media really.

I expect some sods grandma (or even my own) to watch the ad on my behalf.
