Isn't it kind of embarrassing to be so easily manipulated?

They can not be so embarrassed when they don't see or feel how they are being manipulated. But I so agree.
PBS did a documentary just focusing on facebook, but if you can stand the 2 hour length, it is quite telling of how this came to be.
Folks are made into predictable commodities. I have known it was going on since the beginning but nobody understood the impact of it and would not listen. Admittedly, it is the stuff we make tin foil hats for and seemed like that kind of info 5-10 years ago.
It is simply trial and error to get a desired emotional response from a given input. And then hammering it for a desired purpose. It's no wonder act of violence are up.

If you think it is bad now, wait till the facial recognition aspects read your face to know how you respond to what you see and hear.
Better than 83% accurate in reading your emotional reaction based on slight movments on your face. The only country to be using this tech in actual practice more than in the US is in China. Some VR / AR tech facebook has been working on is going to make very exclusive use of it.
It is the things you are not aware of that will hurt you most.
But most of this would be less do-able without tracking and the buying/selling of that information across platforms that you do not even know it is happening tied together by some seemingly insignificant info.
Facebook may not house all your info but they have alliance with the folks that have the other data freely shared as a partner.
But as I have predicted, there will be no 'real cries to stop it' till to much is out there and the damage has been done.
Nobody thinks they can be manipulated. Till you see how it is done. Then they do not wish to believe it affected them. But they do start to look at it differently going forward.
It's kinda like knowing how the magician does the trick and the entertainment value is lost.
