> Media buyers who run Facebook ad campaigns on behalf of clients said Facebook is no longer able to reliably see how many sales its clients are making Not sure I get this. Presumably an e-commerce site knows it’s been clicked from an ad due to the url. This must be referring to sites that aren’t recording that and relying on some Facebook pixel in the checkout or aren’t handling cookies themselves to remember when p…

That sense of entitlement that you can get stuff for free without having to pay for it in some way. You use facebook for free, it seems to provide you some value, why do you think you are entitled to get this for free?
