Facebook uses an algorithm to estimate the proportion of text in an image embedded into a Facebook ad.
The algorithm works well and it is well designed (it's not an issue of bad data science per se), but it results in 50% of my ads being rejected, see sample ad and rejection notice below. This is an example where better…
