The Pubcast with Jon Loomer

We did something different and Jon invited Luke in to discuss several important topics. During this episode they talk about:

• Facebook scams (why does this keep happening??)
• Advertisers getting shut down
• Does Facebook care about exploited weaknesses?
• Why don't these options exist?
• What's up with these weird ads coming from Facebook's Facebook page?

If you sell a product on Amazon or another third-party site, the struggle is real with advertising. You can't remarket to people who clicked on your ad. Your optimization options aren't ideal.

But, Meta has something they could do that, while it wouldn't solve every problem for this group, it would make things better. I explain on this episode.
