Re: The ads seem odd and inappropriate

Etsy in general has issues showing relevant content. I browse retro stuff on there and but only seem to get ads (both on IB sites and off) matching yours

Etsy is not a site I visit. Unsure why those are targeted to my account here.

Re: The ads seem odd and inappropriate

Well, I have said this before. I HATE any kind of Ads. After 20+ years on Facebook, it is why I left the site. And I left my art group behind which I miss. Some person found a way to hack my profile and starting blasting Ads in my name that I had nothing to do with. I reported it to FB and they did nothing, no response. Then I got a message from Meta saying if I didn't start paying for the ads, no more would be published! What? huh? All the ads were in Chinese with an address in Nashville, TN. I had them lock my profile, and it has been locked ever since. No way I am paying for some criminal's ads.
Apparently, I have some kind of ad blocker, as now when I go to sites, they hide their content from me behind some accept ads or die window, so I just leave. I see no ads here on DVDtalk. It is getting way out of hand. For the first time last night I watched Youtube TV, on my TV, and scan marks were there for the copious ads they were showing so you could buy things instantly. No way Jose! This is why I mostly watch movies. It is all propaganda started by Sigmund Freud's nephew, Edward Bernays, who started public relations by showing ads of women smoking cigarettes (1929), making it popular for women to smoke. How many died because of that snake charming evil? /rant

Guess this ad is so important to show me that it showed up twice in the same thread.

It has to be a feast for BOTH eyeballs so you need it twice.

Re: The ads seem odd and inappropriate

Suggestive ads have picked up again over the past week or so, especially on mobile, although the accompanying pictures are more deliberately cropped this time around. I was previously unaware that Erika Kirk, Karoline Leavitt, and Chelsea Clinton "flaunt their huge size" in swimsuits that leave "nothing to the imagination."

EDIT: I see now that similar ads were reported in this thread last year, so it's my own fault for not being previously aware of huge sizes.

I have received this one 4 pages in a row today, despite reporting it each time.

I recently got a similar one for Koreadate, if you want an additional suggestion.

Re: The ads seem odd and inappropriate

I’m sure the mods will tell us just to hit the blue “X” and report the ad, but we all know that it doesn’t do anything.

Are you in the market for a Russian mail-order bride?
