Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I block ads on my computer and my phone browser (shoutout to Orion), so I only see ads on my TV (because it's an old smart TV. I know, I know, but I'm not in a financial place to ditch it and buy a new one.) I have no idea what info advertisers have on me, but by the fact that at least half my ads are for fast food, they clearly haven't picked up on the fact that I not only don't eat meat, but that I've been avoiding fast food for over 20 years. They also haven't picked up on my age or that I'm a woman, since I also get ads for Medicare ~~scams~~ Part D as well as for men's healthcare products. Sometimes the ads are in Spanish, which makes it even better.
It's all such a waste of time and resources, the only benefit being that my reflex time stays strong as I hit that "mute" button at the first sign of an ad break.
