40 Best ‘Ads With Threatening Auras’ Shared On This Hilarious Facebook Group

Bored Panda spoke with Áron Somos, the founder of the group, to learn more about how it got started. Being fond of finding niche interests on Facebook, he explained how it's actually the second popular group that he's created.

“I created this page based on previous experience and on the back of an idea,” he said. “Roughly ten years ago, when Facebook introduced the group feature, I created one for a particular car model, solely to experiment with this function. A year-and-a-half in, that group started to explode and is currently at 112K members.”

One thing led to another and Áron had the idea to start another group that he’d enjoy working on even more. “With the growth of the group came the increased responsibility of moderation,” he explained.

“I'd been doing it for a while when I started to think, if I'm spending that much time on daily moderation, why not create something that's equally fun, funny, and possibly monetizable?”

However, Facebook’s policies on content monetization are incredibly specific. So, whilst the group isn’t a cash cow, Áron made a point that money isn’t everything and the real treasure is what the page brings to himself and others. 

“Although I'm yet to see a penny from the group, it never failed to give me a good giggle,” he said. “It can sometimes be time-consuming to moderate, but getting that daily laugh I'd say is a well-worth payoff.” 

Many people may not realize it, but Facebook can be surprisingly lucrative for creators meeting those monetization policies. In a post shared from his page, founder Mark Zuckerberg announced plans to make the platform even more enticing to creators.

He said, “We want to build the best platforms for millions of creators to make a living, so we're creating new programs to invest over $1 billion to reward creators for great content they create on Facebook and Instagram through 2022. Investing in creators isn't new for us, but I'm excited to expand this work over time.”
