Seems super weird since using an ad blocker is pretty much essential on these sites
If Google had actual people curate the ads and where those ads were displayed then this shouldn't happen.
Smart move, makes it so people relate those brands with unhealthy habits and toxic relationships.
Seems like it would be effective, though. Those sites get huge numbers.
