'sexy' ads on SB

[Boarderguy]

I use Duck Duck Go and don't get any of those ads... even with my past sexy searches they don't bring anything up when meandering through the interwebs.

I miss sexy ads in scuba diving. Diving ads nowadays are just rebreather and drysuit porn.

Damn, I always see boring stuff.

Thanks for the extra helpful post. I didn't say it 'really bothered me'. I don't visit porn etc. sites so I was curious.

But you did post on SB about it, so clearly you are bothered by it. But since everyone is a snowflake lately.... Regardless, a VPN like DDG or NordVPN may improve your online experience. So...yeah, I am being helpful.

I do NOT, Never have googled porn, but I used to get XXX rated gross-out porn ads. These were not because of my “google history” but because advertising execs assume that all middle aged men will be tempted by shocker porn, and they did not realize I am a woman and would respond better to ice cream-snarfing babies or strawberry-eating tortoises.
While I am complaining, I suspect that the repetitive gross out ads about bodily functions that are not sexual, are also not by algorithm, but more as a punishment for those who don’t click in any ads.
My strategy is to click on jewelry and fancy dress ads, to steer ads to something less offensive, and it is working partially. At least the porn stopped and I now have thousands of Mother of the bride dresses to choose from if my kids ever get a move on in the marriage department.

For a while I started clicking on adds in arabic. Soon that was pretty much all I got. It really is so much less distracting when it is all in a foreign language that you can not read at all. All I had to do was click on an add once every week or two and the supply never seemed to be exhausted. Maybe I need to start doing that again?

Still seeing ads for hiking shoes and urban armor for electronic devices.

Yeah I don't get it...It's mostly dive & travel ads which makes sense. It must only take being a male lol. I've been on scubaboard for about a decade now so maybe it's a sign I should 'go red'.
