No idea what I've searched for online, its very boring normally but my Facebook for the last couple of days has been full of adverts which are generally pictures of a couple, man is normally top less. Then a few paragraphs, last one was have we ever mated? It's aying story romance stories?? I can't count how many times I've clicked block or see less of these but they still there?! Anyone else?

lots of sponsered ads, which i did open but the stories are long and irrelevant.
delete them as soon as i see they are sponsered

I've been getting these recently too! Mine tend to be Twilight inspired werewolf themed ones. And frankly they are a bit rapey ☹️ I block them but there is no category to select when I block to report them for being borderline pornographic/ abuse content.

I seem to get them from a page for 'book lovers'.

I'd love to hear a way to get rid of them.

I see loads of these, block them all and they eventually stop but come back a while later. I read one once and it was horrible, I wish there was a way to say I don’t want to see any more of them, ever!

I was wondering the same. Last week I read a thread in a local FB group. Someone was asking for advice on getting a new boiler and I read all the comments.
Now whenever I open up FB every advert is for boilers/grants for boilers/scams for boilers 🤦🏻‍♀️

I'm getting these "literature" ones too. I do belong to a couple of book pages (Kindle books for 99p, etc) but nothing that indicates any interest in the (borderline porn) romance-type excerpts that I seem to be getting. I click "hide" or "block", but the "tell us why you hid this ad" button just brings the story back again.

Like a pp, I seem to have a spate of them, then they stop - but they always come back so I'm clearly triggering some algorithm somewhere.

If you come across a solve I'll be very interested! In general my ads ratio on Facebook appears to be increasing, making it less interesting or useful Sad
