I use marketplace to find local deals... 0 interest in making an online purchase from these searches and 0 trust in 90% of what Facebook is promoting as sponsored. They do not vet their partners and have promoted obvious scams in the past - I've hidden quite a few (reported as irrelevant, never show again) but they just push more.

The frustration: if you're not paying close attention and inadvertently click on an ad you're immediately taken to an external site. Hello pop-ups, time to scan for viruses.

What happened to the good old "you're about to leave Facebook" warnings that have you the last chance to cancel? Some considered then an annoyance, but they had a legitimate purpose... I want that protection back.

Or, remove external redirects and make the sponsor set up a proper add IN Facebook. And leave it out of my search results when my filters are already set to a 10 mile local only radius. Respect the damn filters!

This may read as a complaint or request for support, it's more of a vent and question: how do you all deal with supported ads? Love em, hate em, just pass by them?

Curious if it's just me!
