You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I’m not criticising adverts being on here, moreso wondering how they are targeted though.
I’m getting a lot of flat caps from A Chinese website and across the top of each thread, numerous ads for b!tco!n opportunities.
I’m tempted by the latter, seemingly I can make 127% profit in 3 minutes.
Kickstarter for an electric faaat byke is now appearing.
I miss the blurred Gibl! Filling the screen.....
Edit, now I can find out the name of my own guard Ian angle.
there are adverts?
Womens fancy lingerie, which isn't helpful when most of your viewing is at work!
A magazine I already subscribe to 😉
I'm very good at not noticing adverts.
Sorry, no help.
Adverts?
Nah, lost me there...😉
Bikes.
Weird.
No adverts, haven’t seen one since that last Specialized take over of 2016.. (or was it 2017?) anyway the one that caused STW to implode and calls for Marks head on a kebab stick with Chips on the side 🤣
And let’s not forget I only renewed my subs last Summer...
rubber buttplugs.
Terrible, terrible clothes, such as a hoodie that looks like a suit of armour.

Hahahahha,
I’ve seen that hoodie/suit of armour outfit.
It’s a gem, not sure it affords any protection from stray arrows though.
Women's fancy knickers etc. I'm 6ft ,bald & overweight. 🙄
Addison Lee.
I got Jeeps and Stetson hats.

Rule 34.
If it fits, wear it?
Have you seen the hoody that looks like a naked, fat and hairy male torso? 😳
I get a lot of female ‘fashion’ ads of very skinny women in tight clothes, usually taken in selfie format.
I don’t shop for or search for women’s clothes or fat man hoodies on the internet so I can’t believe they are targeted...
I presume there are generic stw ads as well as targeted ones based on cookies in your browser cache. I cleared my browser history and cache and then browsed random websites. The targeted ads then started reflecting where I’d been. Latest have been shirts that look like they’ve had tubs of multi-coloured paint poured over them.
Never do some exercise or other. Well I cycle a lot for my exercise so probably not targeted. Plenty of skimpy tight ladies clothes. To be fair, they’d probably fit me and I wear a lot of skimpy tight Lycra. And skiing holidays. Never been on one and not interested in them. Nor have I ever searched for any of the above.
Basically adverts for lots of rubbish I am not interested in. Maybe the powers that be need better algorithms. Audi’s, log burners, laptops, decent men’s shoes. Seriously it can’t be that hard based on a middle aged male demographic of ABC1’s.
Back in the old days when you couldn't pay to make the ads go away.... I was poking around in the T&Cs of google and there was a bit where they said who the thought you were based on your browsing history - broadly your gender, age, country and a vague stab at your interests. It said you could tick a box if you wanted google not to try and shape ads and search results to that profile. So I ticked it.
The next time I visited STW pretty much all the advertising space around the page was offering me incontinence pants.
Yes, targeted, but I don't want to talk about it. But how did they know?
What I found crazy is even reading a specific thread on this forum, I got adverts related to the thread. I had gardening adverts after reading somebody having issues with his lawn.
Do people still get adverts for Bravissimo whenever Deadlydarcy posts?
I don't mind ads also....but why is this being shown to me:
(I'm really not in the target demographic! And can't think of any recent searches etc. which would target that somehow!)
Why would I want to click on a link and ultimately buy something that will enable me to
"Display my helmet in style"....?
Ive been doing that all by myself with oodles of style for the last 40 years or so.
Have you seen the hoody that looks like a naked, fat and hairy male torso?
Not just me then. Get that all over the web. Also a lot of other very strange brightly patterned (mainly) womens clothing that looks nothing like anything K or I would ever buy.
Terrible, terrible clothes, such as a hoodie that looks like a suit of armour.
That's just CFH's fashion posts...
As if by magic, a hoodie with a lions head and lightning bolt appears on the page.
Apparently Jim Davidson is no longer bankrupt is what I get mostly. I thought the objectionable prat was dead to be honest.
I just get adverts for stuff I bought last week.
Aah, go on then, I'll have another one.

Didn’t know he’d been ill...
All the ones I get are for Russian brides.
I can’t remember ever ordering one, and I’ve been happily married to Louise for 19 years now.......oh hang on...

He's got the builders in at the moment. (Not a euphemism)
