It is great that you created this in 48 hours, props for that. Still it is quite confusing to be honest. At first I just clicked through the questions, not really paying attention to them. I was trying to figure out how the poker game works and what it had to do with the likes.
After playing through I read the comments and it became clear that the only real joke here is the ad at the end. Replaying and paying attention to the answers I realized you had some things prepared here.
Another thing, the source code and HTML5 links point to the same page. Where is your source code?
I think if maybe you had to spend likes to get a second deal then the gameplay would have been more engaging. I know the point is in the 'story' and I think it serves well as an art piece, but reading other reviews I see some people never made it that far and maybe some sort of risk/reward system would encourage more people to stick around for the ending. Some sort of background music or ambient sound would go a long way too.
Maybe is something for the postjam release
