Here's another "bug" I noticed today: if your browser window is "too narrow", for example because you're using that widescreen to have two windows open at once, you get a horizontal scrollbar and ads display like this:

scroll to the right and you get this:

Yes, someone's being charged for an ad where even if I scroll I can only see a few pixels on the left. If I make the window a bit narrower I don't see it at all, but it's presumably still an "impression".




> someone's being charged for an ad

When I advertise on Facebook, they charge me per click, not per impression. I assume this poorly displayed ad also is charged per click.
