Anyone else getting odd Facebook ads? Romance stories

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
