52% of Americans Report Seeing More Ads on Facebook

 Digital ads are the main source of income for most tech platforms, and users have been reporting seeing an increase in the number of ads that they are exposed to. 52% of Facebook users stated that they are seeing more ads than they used to, and that number is around 47% for YouTube. In spite of the fact that this is the case, most other platforms have a majority of users stating that the number of ads they are seeing has stayed more or less the same.


Facebook and YouTube are unique in that they are the only platforms that have more users reported a higher number of ads than those that say they are the same number. 39% of Facebook users and 45% of YouTube users said that the number of ads has stayed consistent, although there is clearly a far larger disparity when it comes to Facebook with all things having been considered and taken into account.

With all of that having been said and now out of the way, it is important to note that LinkedIn is satisfying its users the most in this regard, Only 20% reported an increase in the number of ads, with 64% saying that they are seeing the same number as before. Reddit, Pinterest, Twitter and Snapchat are also doing fairly well here with 54%, 55%, 53% and 48% of users respectively reporting the same ad volume. The percentage of users reporting higher ad volume for these platforms are 27% for Reddit, 29% for Pinterest, 35% for Snapchat and 37% for Twitter.

Things are a bit more dire in the world of TikTok and Instagram. TikTok performs marginally better, with 46% of users reporting the same ad volume compared to 41% reporting an increase. Instagram users are split right down the middle, with 44% saying they are noticing more ads and a further 44% reporting the same numbers as before.

Facebook’s recommendation algorithm is notorious for its low accuracy and success rate. That means that users are seeing more ads but there is only a 71% chance that the ad would be relevant.

Apple In The Hotseat After Reviewer Confirms Its Vision Pro’s Eyesight Feature Doesn’t Work

  For months, we’ve seen tech giant Apple speak about how its Vision Pro entails features that set it far apart from all others in the industry. Now, a reviewer is casting serious doubt on the iPhone maker’s claims after adding that one of the key features of the new Vision Pro Eyesight does not work. And that’s shocking considering how much Apple has marketed the product as one of the best in the industry. When you consider a wide array of real-life examples, you’ll find how Apple has always spoken about this technology being one of the best out there. But in reality, one reviewer says that’s far from the truth. CEO Tim Cook took out the time to argue about how AR is far more superior and entertaining than the world of VR. The former was better as it did not isolate individuals from the community arising around it. Moreover, this is where the entire EyeSight product range came into existence from this notion as it ensured users were well aware and engaged in everything in their su...
