Targeted Advertising

[Lucille]

What’s the strangest targeted advertising you’ve received? I’m feeling particularly attacked having just received one on Instagram from a LONDON BASED RENTBOY.

 

[Soldi]

I always get TOP TIPS TO CLEAN OUT YOUR EARS after I clean my ears

Hardly WEIRD but it was a bit embarrassing showing my grandad my holiday photos casting to the big TV with a big TALK TO LOCAL BOYS - WAITING FOR YOUR CALL down the side of the screen the entire time.

 

[Tisch]

Do we need a other topic for WISH ads as well?

Maybe the advertising was targeted to him.

The day I turned 40 I started getting erection problem cures.

I also remember the day I split up with Mr Navy and finally changed my status to “single”, all my FB advertising changed to gay camping trips for lonely men

Wish ads are a whole other world,

I don’t wanna kinkshame BUT...

'28 and Single' was the classic back in the day before FB really developed data harvesting.

 

[Tisch]

Also this one keeps following me around at the moment. No idea why but not complaining.

Spoiler

 

[Sheena]

Oh yeah, I’ve got him too. And totally stopped scrolling when he hit me.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Oh yeah I got those Huel ones for ages. So annoying. Reported it as spam in the end.

 

[Tisch]

Maybe it's clocked that I stop momentarily every time

 

[Lucille]

Oh yes I get him as well

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Mind you they didn't have HIM when they were targeting me

 

[K.C.]

There are entire Facebook Groups dedicated to shady Wish ads. They're STILL trying to sell me COCK RINGS.

WRONG TARGET HUN.

 

[whatisityoucantface]

I don't get the huel guy but I DO get a lot of underwear marketed at me. Modelled usually by bearded men.

 

[lolly]

Hopefully my impending birthday will get me some targeted advertising and free samples for Tena Men

 

[octophone]

You want to see what happens when you change the gender marker on yr social media profiles.

 

[K.C.]

You can turn them off altogether I think. Or something equivalent to it anyway.

In high school (before coming out) I made a “joke” that I got a lot of ads for gay porn, and my friend pointed out that the ads were based on what you had been searching

 

[jivafox]

 

[Debbie Jellinsky]

I recently had an Instagram ad for a lamp that looked like the one I had bought in TK Maxx a week before and that I had described to a friend during a call. Now that was creepy.
I once also got an ad for a fleshlight, I swear I hadn't googled or searched for one though

 

[GNL]

Nice rocket's tail.

 

[GNL]

I get a lot of adds for TACKY GAY UNDERWEAR. Not ideal when I used to have to be on facebook ALL DAY at work. It's like a HYDRA'S HEAD, every time I say 'I don't want to see this ad!' another BULGE IN NEON LYCRA springs forth.

 

[Pipo]

I get a lot of adds for TACKY GAY UNDERWEAR.

oh THIS! Who knew there were so many variations of ASSLESS briefs

 

[jyxz]

Oh. Hey Serge....

:emoji_kissing_smiling_eyes:

 

[RS]

I keep getting ads for the same products that I’ve already bought. I feel like I’ve cheated the algorithm.

 

[RJN]

I keep getting ads for this. Anyone know why?

Amazon product ASIN B003CJ6816

 

[Dance Witch Abortion]

I googled thickening hair shampoo once 3 months ago and it’s practically the only advert I’ve seen on social media since, my hair is not quite that bad yet thank you algorithm!

 

[COB]

I always get ads for some horrible looking thing called the SKULL SHAVER Can't believe they've worked out that I'm bald, also I'm bald everyone this is my coming out moment x

 

[Tisch]

Spoiler: some lovely trousers

 

[K.C.]

My dumbass tried scrolling to the right

So Wish figured out your love language and showed their love that way. What’s the issue?
