 What is Facebook Social Ads?

Facebook uses social ads to make revenue by showing your liked pages to your friends and the liked pages from them to you by mentioning your name that XYZ like this at your account right sidebar (See the screenshot). And this concept works great for them to maximize their revenue. As this leads to a Like for that page by your friend too and then by his friends etc. and this cycle goes on. And if  your best friend liked any page the 100% chances are that you’ll also like it. So, this shit thing goes in this manner. I hope you got it.
