I literally got an ad for (probably) some dating website, telling me to have some roadside anal with the girl pictured...this ad was on the youtube app, like what the actual fuck.
I've seen more tame ads on sketchy porn sites.
I got a government served ad on instagram of a photo with huge piles of viagra, telling me not to bring home those pills from vacation. I was at work trying to show a coworker some miniature a friend painted, needless to say i got a wtf face from my coworker and i reported the ad.
Keep ads reasonable and the amount reasonable like it used to be and this issue would've never existed.
Co-worker be like "you know those ads are targeted, right? Wanna tell me something?".
Awkward.
Exactly that, lol.
I doubt the accuracy of ads a lot, i keep getting this polestar 2 ad assuming i can afford to buy a new car. I can't even afford a shitbox and the running costs.
Heck, that viagra thing was saying it's illegal to import it (there's no need btw you can easily get it off the web lol) as if i've ever been out the country.
If they want targeted ads, give me ads for 50 cents milk and other cheap food from supermarket discounts.
