targeted advertising is pretty much perfect, right? if you see an ad, it's because people who do whatever you're doing are more likely to pay for what's being advertised than people who aren't (iirc some of you are vile ad company trash who will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes and can confirm this) so we can draw reasonable extrapolations about a t.v. show's audience based on what's advertised when it airs, right? if you're watching adult swim, they advertise yummy fast food in a dumb silly way because you're probably high and, that's the only example I can think of so my question is why do so many 1) bikers and 2) people with psoriasis watch Judge Judy?

Heres what Ive learned. If you have cable or live tv and watch during the day time, advertisers are CONVINCED you are a brain rattled Numismatist. Or that you are a soon to fade away boomer who is just dying for a REVERSE MORTGAGE. Youtube ads that have targeted me, apparently latched on to the fact that i used to play Final Fantasy Mobius, and think i really want to play Brave Exvius or some other Final Fantasy Mobile game. These ads are on my pc. My spotify which i cant afford premium for at all times, when im on ads, has latched on to the thought that i want, Sam Adams beer ( I never drink ), that i shop at home depot ( never been ), and that i love whataburger. 1/3 aint bad spotify. Now the en espaniol ad for a dealership in lubbock texas is odd since i live in a different city is weird especially since youve been doing it for THREE YEARS. Also spotify never does ads for any other companies which im told is very odd. IT just does spotify ads and ads for sam adams, whataburger, home depot, and the same loving dealership occaisionally for me. I think my spotify is loving cursed. IT will do a loving TON of spotify ads though for songs i would never listen to.

Well it suggests that if you're itchy all the time and into motorcycles you have a very deep desire to see some justice in this world because god knows you ain't seen none of it.

Sometimes when I need to reboot for an update, my ad block will fail on whatever my first YT video is. I used to get this guy warning you about "the 3 words you should never say to a woman." I would skip ASAP, but assume of course that the piece of poo poo meant, "I love you." I'm not sure whether my horror or history vids cater to PUAs, but I'm distressed either way.

For a non-comedy answer there are two concepts that really scare me and those are time and marketing/advertising. Both of those things reduce me to nothing. Time is worse because it's beyond us and it is regardless of anything we may feel or think about it, but we invented marketing. Why would we do that to ourselves?

That just means you've spent about 30 years in hell and the algorithm thinks that this is what will torment you the most. In 100 trillion years it'll be sending you adverts about how even black holes are starting to evaporate and soon everything will be nothing but you'll still be and you experience nothing, forever.

I’ve really been having trouble finding ANY corporate advertisement in the past 6 years that hasn’t included some form of racism. It’s not stuff they’re specifically marketing to racists though, it’s just like this repeated and supposedly commonly accepted, “alright guys so we’re all racist again right?” message repeated over, and over, and over. It’s just like, welp, racism has crept back in as our natural human state, but for some reason it needs to be rehashed with some frequency, despite the “that’s just how it is” message. Id rather see racists struggling than gracefully maneuvering social taboos and seeing civil rights as an inconvenience to social progress. Like no hey pal like 99.99999% of us aren’t racist and we don’t want to believe we just saw some rear end in a top hat cough and say “jew” at someone, but in a sort of muffled and secretive and understated way, we don’t want to believe that black guy just got shamed, but a lot of us got that soda in the fridge right now and their wife is wearing that racist perfume. At least we’re seeing people of color on tv yeah, even if it’s some always always always diminutive role? Everything is always this, well maybe that wasn’t intentional, or something that can be brushed under the rug or forgotten, but it just keeps happening, over and over. People didn’t make the same mistake or have the same naive insensitivity 6000 times in a row. They know the threshold for boycott is like non-existant anymore, it is a zero consequence environment so long as it is defensible, marginalized hate speech. What id like to see is people struggling to act racist for money, and wide sweeping purchase blackouts when it happens, enough to make a noticeable difference in quarterlies. Like we’re allowed to know what people are saying without the “well, technically..” argument, or the “if it came down to it..” argument. Like we know what you said, we know what you implied, we’re allowed to know that.

I can't even really channel marketing directed at men because it's all so horrifying and real that I can't truly inhabit that character because I'd have to kill myself after because it's at once so true and as many times a lie that I can't accept it.

It’s mostly like, well you can’t be “it” because you’re not a perfect person, you won’t attain “that” in its full brevity because you’re not.. I would actually like to see a rendering of what the gently caress the ideal person is supposed to be. All we hear is “partial or cheated access, nice try pal but..” type poo poo. Like why don’t they just show us this perfect person instead of saying what’s not it? Who’s the guy who gets the whole loving package without some fundamental human flaw that should deny them their god-self? With all the “humanity is a loving joke just indulge in this poo poo until it’s ultimate end” themes, SHOW US A RENDERING OF THIS GODDAMN IDEAL PERSON ALREADY, like we want to see the reason we can’t all be fully realized adults. If you programmed all the hate parameters into a computer and say “render somebody that is NOT all of these shameful qualities but humanoid”, what would that look like? Probably stupid, pathetic, and lame af by anybody’s standard. Expressing nothing that makes us, us.

Ad sellers give ad buyers the option to only show their ads to a specific demographic -- age range, gender, income range, interests, and so on. The more fine-grained the targeting is when building an ad campaign, the more ad buyers wind up spending because there are other advertisers bidding for eyeballs from that exact same demographic. Alternatively, an ad buyer might want to spend as little as possible to run an ad campaign for reasons that I won't go into here, so they have the option to fill cheap (non-targeted and usually less desirable) ad inventory in order to get as many eyeballs on their ad without spending a lot of dough. Unfortunately, this means that an anorexic person may occasionally get an ad buyer's non-targeted, hyper-aggressive weight loss supplement ad shoved in their face while searching for cats.  Thankfully, ad networks *really* don't like ad campaigns that get lots of views but few clicks. Generally speaking, an ad with a low impression to click ratio will eventually be given less priority down the line when it's time for the ad server to choose an ad within a similar bid range to fill an ad slot, and if an ad continues to not get clicks when displayed past a given threshold, lower bidding ads that haven't had much exposure will be given priority over the existing ads that aren't generating enough clicks when viewed. So if you are seeing ads that are absolutely barking up the wrong tree, the most likely scenario is usually one of the following: A) The person trying to make internet money is not targeting a particular audience and you got served their ad because nobody else was willing to pay more to put their own ad there. B) The service you're using doesn't know enough about you to be able to place you in an accurate group of cohorts, so you're being targeted by error because you were put in the wrong bucket of eyeball havers - using an ad blocker, VPN, and privacy guard extensions can cause this to happen. C) You or someone using your computer accidentally or curiously clicked on an ad but never actually bought the product being advertised, so the advertiser's retargeting algorithm thinks it can convince you to buy that product or something similar to it if they just keep serving related ads to you. D) The ad server must decide which ads to display on the page you're viewing in a ridiculously short amount of time, and ad servers are not immune to bugs and the internet is weird.

For years I've gotten nothing but baby care / baby related ads, ads to quit vaping, and sometimes trailers. I am infertile. The ads started showing up immediately after my hospital stay where I found this out. The best I can come up with is I call my cat "baby" and the ads are dumb. The worst I can come up with is that the ads read my email and misinterpret all the doctors saying "having a baby will kill you" as "Lieutenant Dan obviously has birthed several children". Idgaf about babies but I imagine it'd be incredibly demoralizing to anyone else to be constantly reminded they can't have children literally every 10 minutes. Twitter thinks I'm a married 40-year-old lesbian with 3 kids who's upper middle class. I'm a 29 year old bisexual man with no kids who lives below the poverty line.  oh wait I also get ads for the car I already own.

I watched a couple (okay like 10) videos on youtube of people getting their necks and backs cracked and it led me to getting ads about drug rehabilitation centers and one that was just a guy saying "TELL JOE BIDEN WE DON'T WANT SOCIALISM IN AMERICA". After a few weeks of regular viewing I'm back to getting mostly ads for meal box kits and amusement parks.
