Exactly. I did an experiment after I noticed that google front page was sending me recommendations to get things on ebay. So I did a single search for dildo, then another for thongs and then waited and waited for a sign. And there it is! eBay sells their data to Google.
Nah, its the same problem in india. Ive turned off ad personalization and hence I’ll get the most disgusting shit on my front screen. Stopped using youtube altogether because of it.

My stomach turned in knots seeing this because I thought it was an actual ad on Lemmy.
A little bit same here, since ive seen actual porn posted on Lemmy.ml a lot
LOL! Imagine that! I would go in my grave and do a few turns my self. Man I’m just so done with advertising being part of our every day life.
This would be at the same time the saddest and funniest thing to ever happen here 🤣
