Whoah... what's with the ads?
« on: November 05, 2013, 02:20:31 am »
What happened to the actual useful ads around here? The ads way off the mark. Ads like Italian and Spanish boobs, Cisco ACI, Electrolux (who the hell is Electrolux anyways?), Browsersafeguard, Chase, random unknown software and even a "China Wife" seem to be all typical fare.

When I was picking out ads to snap, I only came across one gaming related advert (ThePinballCompany.com). What happened to Groovy and the others? I think there was even an occasional Digikey or Mouser (or maybe that's a different site  ??? ). It wasn't all instant though. These ads gradually drifted more off the mark until I realized today that I haven't seen a single game related ad in some time. Here's a couple of grabs of what I'm seeing now.

That's weird- all my ads are still arcade-related.

It bases it on where you've been browsing...

Yeah, I have an ad bocker too, but this site is one of the very few I allow. Figured what the hell right? Saint is a good guy and he doesn't try to ream us... well... me at least. I have no idea as to his personal lifestyle preferences.

What's the difference between Italian and Spanish boobs?  Why are we getting ads for both?

I'm sure the answers to this will be extremely thoughtful.    ;D

Does anyone else use your computer/login for browsing? If so then the ads are following your browsing history and habits, so if that person has more interest in bubblegum headline sites and meme based stuff then that's what's influencing the ad displays.
