Title: Fricken Targeted Advertising!
Post by: Bad Penny II on November 17, 2020, 09:25:31 AM
I gave up using Firefox addon NoScript a while ago, it just got too hard to view just about everything.
I still use Adblock Plus but I'm getting more adds.  Well they've got to pay for things somehow.
I don't like some of the adds I get though, why am I getting so many old people adds?
I don't want to know my gruesome health prospects 15 years hence!

"If you are over 50 you should try these 15 hair styles."
Well that is age relevant but it is very insensitive to the folliclulary challenged, they all seem to require hair.

The thing about Russian women is, they are either drop dead gorgeous, or they are hideous. There is no middle ground.

Ads are damn spooky. Just the other day I was talking about going over to the supermarket to buy Nesfit oats and honey biscuits and two freakin' Nesfit biscuits ads appeared when I was surfing the web later that night! Not once did I type 'Nesfit' ou 'biscuits', I just talked about it out loud. They're spying on us, they are...

Heh, here's a tune from before Kenny Rogers sold out and went country, although this might be considered country. We're pretty much the same age (I'm 68).

Of course there is country Stones stuff, I'm not sure what western is, is that cowboys on horses singing about tumbleweeds?  I think there is cool country stuff, bloody awful stuff too, like Garth Brooks.





They hung out with Gram Parsons for a bit

I've never heard any of those songs before, or if I have, I forced memory loss of them.

Somebody out there is spreading a nasty rumor that I have a small, flaccid member.  I keep getting ads for enlargement and rigidity.  Glad my last name isn't "Smallwood".

EN I get more than a few internet solicitations for "free pleasures" by gorgeous, young, unfulfilled, females. Ha! If they only knew that I am as old as Methuselah.

I wonder whether there are virile males out there who fall for that kind of come on.  What with the Covid, I reckon that those kinds of trysts would be dangerous for more than one reason.

I'm a member of some wood working forums...pauses for laughs and applause.

One of the guys was complaining about seeing lingerie ads at a wood working site. Of course, someone pointed out that the ads are targeted based on your search history. Busted...pauses for laughs and applause.  ;D I don't visit porn sites on the web...anymore...after having seen some things that just can't be unseen.

And I get ads for foreign women and ED drugs without ever having visited sites touting said ingredients. That's SPAM, plain and simple, and is simply deleted as such. My AOL accounts want to send a reminder to the offenders. Methinks that that will simply increase the intensity.
