Nix the Glaceon · March 12, 2018, 01:52:25 AM

what in mother mary's name is this hellspawn
why do i keep seeing it every time i open this website
why does it look like my grandma made it after discovering how to use the text tool in paint
this has got to be the worst ad i've seen in my life
how does "lego forum" correlate with "dodgy dating website" in any way

and no i don't go on dating websites, they're bad

also while refreshing the forum index to get more examples i found something a lot worse than this

who makes these and why would google allow this to be shown to the public, this is the kind of stuff you delete immediately and then destroy the hard drive to get rid of any remaining evidence of it existing

it's not based on the site you're currently on.

it's based on your activity.

well i don't remember going to dateolicious.com or (japanese symbols).com

also grimlock did me simply saying your name awaken you from a cryogenic sleep or something because you were extremely inactive until i said your name

of course not.
why would it advertise sites you've already been to?

what they do know is that there's at least some correlation between your activity, and some other people's activity, and that some of those other people also went on shady dating sites.

because they have paid for their advertisements to show???
dating service ads aren�t against the google ad guidelines

that is still allowed as an advertisement; if you have a problem with it you can report the ad to google and they’ll give it a second look.
alternatively, install ublock origin and avoid all of it

Stop looking up degenerate special interest research and Google will stop thinking you're a single adult virgin.

Also I had to turn my adblocker off to even see the images in the op lol
