I know there is usually a “target demographic” that is profiled for what kind of products that they may buy. I was listening to an electro swing mix online and I kept hearing ads for different kinds of soaps, and all I could think of is “damn, a lot of people must clean while listening to this.
You guys get ads ?
What are ads?

I recall noticing back when “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” was on the air, that there were one hell of a lot of ads for contact lenses during that show.
I’m watching a reaction channel going through Buffy/Angel episodes now, and keep getting hard-right propaganda ads. I don’t get it.
If it’s anti-LGBT stuff, that may be because major ad systems e.g. Google/YouTube don’t treat LGBT as a demographic but rather a topic of interest … and the far right are interested.
All it takes is watching a few home improvement videos on YT to start the idiot ads rolling: bots reading screen text a la TikTok that boil down to “Doctors HATE this one trick!” nonsense. I’m never sure if the knowledge gained from the video is worth the brain cells lost to the ad.
Im an atheist pansexual, for a while youtube was bombarding me with Christian and Muslim ads no matter what I was watching. Un-installed the app and now I only use it on Firefox + ublock origin
If you have an Android TV, check out SmartTubeNext
Nah my TV is an Sony crt with an hdmi adapter that I connect to my Linux laptop
Block your ads, people!
Were you also cleaning? 🚿
Homework actually 😅. After a couple of hours, they all start to sound like the cantina song on Star Wars
That explains it. AI can’t tell the difference between homework and housework.
Dropped cable and OTA TV a long time ago. Only subscribe to streaming services that have a no-ads option. So nice to not have to sit through that.
Or maybe you said “soap” one day and your device heard you.

I only see ads when watching YT on my TV; and even when I go outside my normal viewing, the ads remain the same.
The only thing my viewing content has changed in terms of ads is that once I actually found some good furry stuff on YT, I started also getting ads for FurryMate.com. And those are pretty weird. Other than that it’s like the same 4 products and whatever the latest movie trailers are.
