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

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

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.
