I’m just waiting for someone to say that the ads shown are inappropriate…

Ads have been a problem on several sites for a while. My wife has been complaining about one of the newspaper sites she reads. More worrying is that ads often relate to things that my wife and I have been talking privately about.. I think they pick key words out of emails etc. I’m sure you have similar experiences

Do you mean that the adverts are for inappropriate goods and services, or having adverts full stop is inappropriate even if it’s for lawnmowers, sofas, jewellery, architects, etc?

 

[Rubyred]

Yes still coming up on my iPad, as everybody says, it’s flipping annouing.

I think we should get together and demand a refund of our membership fees.

I’m seeing adverts for life insurance, funeral plans & assassin services.

What has Mrs Ant been googling??? Looking over my shoulder now, I think my days are numbered!!!

There is usually an advertising banner around the middle of the page. The new and additional one (for me) is a Google ad that appears at the top of the page and takes around 18% of the space of time

One advert banner is acceptable, two are not, especially when they are often identical.

Even conversations. They are listening through the phones mic.

Observed at all times.

My 3 year old watched youtube. From the age of 2 he knew how to press skip after 5 seconds so i duno who they think their adverts work on when a 2 year old can crack it

Still getting them on iPad and iPhone. Strangely you can refresh the page by selecting “New Posts” and the ads only appear when you touch the screen and start scrolling
