Reply to comment by Talzon70 in [OC] Who Targets You? Top Contested Facebook & Instagram Ad Audiences in US 2022 midterms by fabiofavusmaximus

This is so biased and wrong I don't even know where to begin. Personal finance is about cutting away your vices, and spending on what's important first (Like rent, food) and then spending what's left on your personal luxuries and savings.

This is such a fucked up comment dude. I know you've got a political bias, and that's completely okay. But to misuse the opposing argument is a strawman at best, and just generally disingenuous.

Jeez not a hint of exaggeration here…if I could keep track the number of people that say “fucked up” about anything on Reddit I would have a real talent.

Some interesting definitions of "personal finance" all around. I'd suggest personal finance is topics like pensions, cost of living, mortgages.

Basic budgeting, which you seem to be referring to here is condescending at best to assume others are dumb enough to have it as an interest. Its so basic its like targeting advertising on people who use the alphabet.

You also have to keep in mind that this is personal finance in the context of Instagram/Facebook.

Like I actually value personal finance for myself, but I'm not getting any of my personal finance information from these sources. Much of the personal finance content on these platforms is just wealth porn, hustle culture, and get rich quick scheme type stuff.
