Started getting ads relating to the agency I work for on here. Just what I need. To be reminded about work when I'm at home.

Also had a weird case where I was talking to my brother on the phone and I mentioned a video game. He said he never heard of it. Next day he called me and said since i mentioned it now every where he went on the internet he was getting ads for it.

Well I only visit here and seldomly Facebook. So my internet expierence is pretty limited so I avoid the stupidity of places like Twitter for the most part.

Here when someone is being stupid its easy to brush off as they are likely a gimmick troll or just baiting people. Which I do engage sometimes but knowing that I dont get irritated about it.

That's because you're too sensitive and take everything online seriously. Brah, it's just text.

It is more important to use your anonymity to upset other people than it is to do anything productive.

Its not that serious. Just threw me off guard when I saw a add for the place I work for. Which isnt a business. Its a government agency. Not directly attached to the specific division I work for but there are several divisions under the agency.

It was some ad about getting help if you have been the victim of crime. Guess it was like a therapy hotline or program it was advertising. Woulda never imagined a ad like that on gamefaqs. Facebook wouldnt have surprised me so much cause they do have a Facebook page

Eh keep a eye out I get rekt in a e argument every now and then cause I get tanked up on booze and enter a topic more confident in my knowledge of something than I should be

Ive literally had Youtube recommend videos after talking to my sister and a friend at work.

Sister was telling me about some new age horoscope angel number nonsense I would never watch... What do you know, it was all over my YouTube recs when I got home.

Friend namedropped a band I never heard of after I told him I haven't listened to music all year cause Im sick of it and guess what... We were talking in person, phones in pocket, walking to his car.

TC's problem could easily be cookies or adtracking. Mine is legit privacy invasion.

Ive had situations like yours.

I was just griping cause I'm about to return to work after being out a month and a half and that ad was a kick in the nuts so to speak cause I'm trying to not think about it.
