Trashy Ads

[ArlyA]

Bet you don't randomly install "apps" or extensions.

I haven't installed any aps and generally use a desktop. I also run add blocker and still get those racy ads.

I use a PC and tablet. This PC happens to be newly unboxed to replace an older system. I installed irfanview for graphics but nothing else.

No suggestive ads, here, none, wink wink.

This ad is most frequent…

Not sure how it would motivate me to gravitate to ACE ownership?

That reminds me. I haven't watched ET in years.

Temu has some very odd things. Who would wear shoes like these?

I don't get the first one, wouldn't be caught dead with the last one, I'll take #2 & #4 though.

One time a caller to the Kim Komando radio show complained about suggestive pop up ads on his computer featuring Asian women wearing lingerie. She artfully danced around trying to gently tell him that the images served up were tied to his browser history of things he had searched for in the past. So it is clear to most people that those things are tied together.

So, in one way, I don't understand the Temu ads. I've done searches for tractor parts, vehicle reviews, grapples, LED neon light strips, interlocking block walls, lots of computer devices and peripherals, and so on. Yet I don't ever get Temu ads targeted toward that. I get it that Temu doesn't sell tractors, but they have a plethora of LED lights, neon strips, and so on. They serve up females in skimpy outfits and things like the odd shoes above. Maybe their marketing is not up to par yet ....

Likely the profit margin is higher on them and they are targeting "customers who are likely to be male" (or something similar)?

Shouldn't be. I'll check settings and see what's going on. Screen shots help if you can post one when you see the ads.

Yeah. Screenshot help. I get no ads.

I wrote before this particular vendor offers some odd things. Whatever these are, they are not connected to my search history. lol

The X looking ads show up, and go away. I'm not getting them today.
