I dont think its Sync problem. You probably visited similar websites few times and now the ad service is serving you these kind of ads.
The ads i see in apps are completely unrelated to sites I visit. There's currently an obnoxious blinking one in an app both my wife and I use. We get the same ads at the same time.
This is so far out of my interest of browsing habits I really doubt it. Unless the ad purposefully misuses the tagging system (or whatever ads use for the algorithm) this has to be random
Ad algorithms might be using more complicated analytic combinations than just "similar sites" as a qualifier. Maybe you're a fan of a product or show (or combination thereof) that typically map to right-wing readers or likely converts.
If they're getting (just making this up) a 5% click-throughs rate with this targeting vs 2% with just similar-site matching, then they probably don't care about a high rate of views by left-wing users.
No, I get that shit from Google ads from time to time too, Google just doesn't moderate advertisers at all! :/
