Why does anyone use those gawd awful Facebook avatars? They all look exactly the same , with just slightly different hair, and they look horrible. If someone told me this was the product of a trillion dollar company, I would laugh out loud in disbelief. Yet people use them. I guess Facebook knows their audience, and knows it doesn't need to worry about quality, since everyone will just use it anyways.

On topic though, no Karen, your account wasn't hacked. Facebook lets porn game companies advertise there now, and if you report the posts, Facebook says they don't violate community standards, despite them clearly violating the rules to the letter. Trash-ass company, run by a trash-ass human analogue.

It’s not that they know their audience, they’re selecting their audience. If you are gullible enough to do the ridiculous thing, then you’re a prime candidate for exploitation. It’s a known cult technique.
