I love it when, rarely as it may be since I block ads as much as possible, I get a completely unrelated-to-me ad… it just means they have no clue who I am

I'm pretty sure mine are based on my physical location and not me. Walking sticks, supplements, glucose monitors.

I hate when someone asks me about some random thing, I quickly Google it for some quick info about something I don't care about at all, and then I have to deal with pop up ads on that product for weeks afterwards.

Looks like the right one is leaning on a big pile of poo

It's a handbag.
... stuffed with poo.

I really liked the person the targeted ads thought I was, back when I saw ads.

They were often targeting an idealized version of myself.

Cmon! I don't need or want an abussive vampire boyfriend!

I've only seen ads on Youtube on PS4. You can click to see why it was shown to you. I get Russian women suggested to me because of "time, general area, gender"

Stop looking at as much werewolf porn. Everything in moderation.

According to the first 4 ads on reddit, I have a lot of problems:

  • Epilepsy medicine
  • Xolair - food allergy medicine
  • Diabetes medicine
  • Zepbound - weight loss

Like these ads aren't even that helpful, they just get in the way. All the ads are kind of why I don't browse reddit that much anymore.

She's seeing a consumer whore version of herself, I guess? I haven't seen a targeted ad in years.
