Facebook announced last night a decision that will upset a lot of people, but which was inevitable in the company's constant desire to generate more money for users around the world. More precisely, Facebook announced yesterday that it has no less than 150 million active users for the Stories function, about half compared to Instagram and 3 times less than those who use the status function of the application WhatsApp.
Facebook revealed for the first time in 14 months how many people use the Stories function from the iPhone and Android applications, plus desktop, and on this occasion it also announced the decision to start displaying ads for everyone. Facebook has already started showing the first ads for users in the US, Mexico and Brazil in the Stories section, and they will also be extended worldwide in the coming months, so everyone will be affected by the change.
Facebook RUINS the Application with a BAD Decision
Facebook has announced that it will display 5-15 second video clips that users will be able to skip for now if they want to, but probably in the future this will be blocked by the company to force us to see them. The decision of those from Facebook is not surprising, considering that until now the company tried to make money by any kind of methods, so it was clear that the ads were going to appear in this section at some point.
Facebook is the largest social network on the planet, with over 2 billion users worldwide, but the vast majority of them hate the ads they see on the company's platform. Unfortunately, it seems that they will be extended to new sections where no one expected to see them, so it remains to be seen what exactly the American company will decide to do to upset everyone who uses its platform.
