What advertisements are you getting?

[Vida May]

I clicked on the link for distilling machines and started getting advertisements for them. Then among the advertisements for the distilling machines, I got one for an anatomically correct male nursing manikin. https://www.vevor.com/products/vevo...274&utm_source=criteo&utm_medium=US#gallery-2

I find this android more attractive.

Ah.

Thank you!

(personally, if my surname was Dick, I wouldn't name my kid Phil)

 

[hollydolly]

I don't get adverts

When I had a job phoning people I was given pages from a phone book and there are some pretty funny names. The one I really would not want was Karen Horney.

Now I have one for the Neptune Society. I don't know what that is . I haven't clicked on it.

Update: Now Neptune Society says Free Cremation Guide.

Even worse, Mini Horney, Dubie Horney, and Ima Horney.

I don't get ads because I use ad-blocking software.

So do I. For the PC browser - uBlock Origin, Ghostery, and Privacy Badger. DuckDuckGo is a good search engine, and HTTPS Everywhere can be useful.

Exactly.

I use ad blocking browser (Brave) and software from when I'm on Chrome.

@Vida May I always said if I was Dick Butkus (football), I'd have changed my name.

 

[Judycat]

Once in a while I'll get an ad with a picture of some guy's junk.

If you are a male once they have you pegged as a “senior,” you will get ads for retirement communities, incontinence products, ****** and it’s cousin medications, insurance providers, and Asian or Russian women who are just dyin’ to meet ‘ya…

 

[Furryanimal]

None....thanks to Duckduckgo.

Some of those ads are offensive. I have seen the ones of Asian or Russian women who want to meet a nice man and they are pretty offensive after women's liberation has changed our consciousness.

I wonder if men get all the bra advertisements that I get?

Good gravy that seems pretty complicated to me. I know I should pay attention and learn a lot more about using a computer and getting on the internet than I know now. I need a grandchild who will gladly come in and resolve all the computer problems for me, but my grandchildren, who are no longer children, do not use computers, and their children are still too young.

Sorry. Those are addons for your browser. Quite a few steps involved to get them installed.

I use Opera browser, a Norwegian bowser, and have for years. Instead of ads screaming at my I have blissful peace. It also depends on the site I am at
I don't watch TV anymore except for TCM and most all of the time I watch YouTube. My attention span has shrunk!

I have lost interest in TV. I like documentaries and our public broadcasting station has aired quite a few of them. But they have no sense of enough is enough. They will run three cooking shows one after another or three woodworking shows, one after another, and when they are doing fundraising drives they go on and on about why we should donate for so long, I totally avoid TV while they are doing that.

The regular TV stations have so many commercials they are no fun either. Maybe I am just getting old and cranky? I rather dress well and meet a friend for a live performance at the performing arts center, or enjoy a play at a small theater. Even attending a high school performance can have the pleasures of civic duty. I costumed plays in high school and college and know the audience is very important to those on stage.
