After a quick Google search it looks as though that image was used as a thumbnail on a Youtube video from 6 years ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgLFKMVWGVY

Funny though, after skimming through the video the thumbnail isn't actually in the video, nor is there anything like it mentioned, so just a click bait thumbnail.

If I should ever buy YouTube my first action in office will be to make bs clickbait thumbnails a bannable offense and enforce it with iron hand.

I turned off my ad blocker but Firefox still won't show me any ads on GameFAQs, so I loaded up Edge and bam...

Then the only reference to it when I clicked on the ad itself...

I'm not sure if I should call you fearless or insane.

Clicking these ads is the best way to get some crappy viruslike adware, if not a real virus.

What is normal in Japan when I was there is any place with magazines, like 7eleven that children frequent just having nudie (or porn, not sure) magazines on display on a child-eye-level.

GameFAQs ads are tailered to the experience of its members. So the next time you see a weird ad like this, just know it's because of the search histories of CE.

That's some urban legend that isn't as true as people think it is.

It's true for many product ads (especially Amazon), but most ads just go for general demographics ("male, 30ish"), and many others just spread out everywhere they can do it for cheap. Many of them don't even aim for the user specifically, but the site they are embedded on (so, not Karovorak is a 30ish man, but GameFAQs is visited by mostly 30ish men).

Like, I just opened my ad invested local newspaper without ad block on, and I got some ads about medical skin issues and cars. I don't give a shit about cars, I don't even have a licence.

Advertisers: Hey fandom, here are some ads that I want you to show your users.
Fandom: Sure, just let me watch and approve them first...
Advertisers: And here is the money!
Fandom: I see that you use our more expensive instant approved advertisement service, no need to check it at all.

Honestly, I just find the ads laughable. That being said, I don't have a PC. All my browsing is on Google Chrome via phone.

Yeah, if I go somewhere specific(like when I went to BigBadToyStore to look at stuff I can't afford) I'll get ads for it first like a week.

But I never click these sort if links or anything, and I've no interest beyond laughing at them.
