I get a lot of ads for Oreo products. Also on my phone if I play a little puzzle game here and there. I think Oreo said "hey just shove us in there if you have no data on the user, everyone likes us!" I honestly can't recall the last time I ate an oreo (or their ice cream treats), let alone bought any, but here we are.
I generally block ads, need to rebuild some firewall stuff. but many are location based. When I was traveling in the Midwest, I got Trump ads... not anywhere near an election season. Just "I'm doing such a great job!"
I've been seeing plenty of AI slop ads on Imgur recently for obviously fake weird products like novelty mugs that aren't physically possible. I don't understand how Imgur can sell ads on their platform without a human screening any of them.
it's.. not so easy. Imgur doesn't pick each ad, except for the big top screen page ads. The ad networks do. The problem is there's no money in ads hardly so any ad network that isn't catering to porn, gambling, and other scams isn't financially viable. Picking out good and bad ads for those companies is expensive to do, so a lot of slop goes through. The ad revenue model is very much broken, probably never was good.
It's amazing how you guys can't figure out that they can do whatever they want with their platform, including limiting what you post as opposed to what they or their business partners post.
Is it hypocritical? Sure. But they get to be hypocritical if they want to. It's literally their platform, not yours. See how pissy you get when they tell you you can't do something in "your" post? That's how they feel when you tell them they can't post shit on *their* platform.

Woogyface
it's an ad to show you how imgur doesn't give a damn about nsfw content if the money goes into their pockets

I'm just spitballing here, but I think it might be for adult products!

The Ad revenue model is pretty broken. Has been a while. The only ones paying are porn, scams, gambling, etc.

Couple of rightwing ads every now and then - I'm assuming they get reported/flagged real quick

Ads from Trump, Ice, the fucking AfD for a few.

Who cares what his health condition is. As long as he hangs in there until close to the election, no one will be appointed to replace him.
If he passes away, a republican replaces him by law. You know they’ll appoint the Republican running to take his seat just to give him an advantage.

A republican will replace him immediately but the Governor will also call a special election and it could go either way
