Yeah, if they want a click out of me they're going about it the wrong way.

I get ads here for dating sites with people in their 40s... which makes no sense based on my browsing history. But it apparently could be worse.

Well they need to get their algorithms straight or something because nothing I've ever looked up should make them think I would be interested in that sort of thing.

Then it's a good place to start.

I think the algorithm is basically "well... you're visiting gamefaqs soooo..."

I think you get that simply by being interested in manga. It doesn't know how to differentiate between yaoi / shonen ai and and regular stuff.

The ads on my mobile browser tend to be more accurate. Stuff about video games, mostly. The PC is just all over the place though, and I don't know why. I search all the same stuff :/ (and I'm the only one that uses Edge).

I don't go on predominantly gay porn sites so don't get recommended gay porn like you.

I usually get ads for whatever product I was just looking at 5 minutes ago so it's completely redundant.

Is this going to be one of those times when you pretend not to have a plan until the last moment? And then turn out to really not have one?

Actually if you see something in another persons posts, I have gotten adds after that before. I think it might be based on text that is put on your screen or something.

There was this s q uatty p o t t y.....add that I kept getting after someone talked about it on here (hopefully by splitting it up we won't all get those adds again). Really annoying, but oh well.

Yeah, I don't know how true it is now, but I remember several years ago I made a few people see ads for penis enlargement by saying "penis" a bunch of times in one of my posts (in a topic talking about weird ads, like this). People were pretty amused by it.

Penis penis penis penis penis.

I get car ads a lot. I have no idea why the ad company thinks I'm interested in cars. I'm not looking for a car, and I never look at car sites or anything. I have no idea why they think I'm interested in cars.
