this popped up in Twitter. Someone said something along the lines of “this is why I need a Quad Core processor to view Facebook” along with a screenshot of the word “sponsored” which appears in adverts on the site.
I thought I’d check. And, yes, indeed. This is the word “Sponsored”.

Facebook’s code is painfully, painfully heavy anyway. I guess this is their way of sidestepping ad blockers - the random class names and the fragmentation of the word is done so that it’s very hard to spot, and then block.
