Not sure what to make of the ads

[sufandu]

I've been getting workout equipment ads.

I was under the impression the ads were from personal web activity history, not cumulative board activity. FrancoPizza, where have you been recently?

Mines always hot single moms in my area and marriot ads. I don’t get it.

 

[PoppyHart]

Does anyone else use the Brave browser? Even if I disable shields, ads, pop ups, etc… I still get the donation request. Any idea how to remedy this?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Omg this is an INSANE self tell and you don’t even know it

Maybe. I don't know. My Internet use is pretty limited. You can tell by my post count here.

When I don't pay the subscription or whatever the ads do get pretty weird, pretty fast.

 

[JarHeadJim]

I get tax law ads.

Does that mean safe, cool, or just lame?

Same

As a boomer, I gotta say this thread is embarrassing as hell.

Ads can be retargeting, demo based, or site based. Sites can block advertisers/categories as well.

Gotta run, my new wife's flight from Manila just landed.

I donate to the site every year to get adds off…..I don’t want to know.

Donate $30/year to the site and you won't need to worry about ads or your significant other finding out about your search history.

Good luck with that. I’ve been donating for years and I am getting ads. I’ve complained a few times, but alas, still getting them

I may be stating the obvious but make sure you are signed in. If I’m not logged in under my username and password I get ads.

 

[OburgOrange]

I’m pretty sure you’re responsible

 

[OburgOrange]

that's cause you're special.

And I’m getting ads for yachts. Must be from your search history

Must be nice, all I am getting is HVAC and AI ad’s. My HVAC system isn’t even 5 years old..

As I read this I am getting ads for oranges. How appropriate.

I am getting Kia ads on this thread and I sold my telluride a year and a half ago east.

You're going to be in major trouble if Subaru finds out about your infidelity.

 

[CuseTroop]

I pay for "ad free", but I wasn't aware we had korean singles ads here. I'd like a refund, and full ads please.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I used to not have to pay

Handle checks out.

Handle checks out.

I must be the perfect level of high, because I finally just figured out his handle.

 

[NYCorange]

Certainly your own browsing history impacts the ads here, but I do get a lot that seem not particularly well targeted. I'm a middle aged dude who has absolutely no interest in Botox lol.

I don’t play for the right team to drive one of those.

Today I get Mazda, some wedding place in Skaneateles, Botox, and ABC Legal. After running it all through the Magic 8 Ball, signs point to one of you jokers marrying the wrong person this week.
