I don't get any ads.

Neither do I, we must just be lucky...

I'm getting lingerie and whiskey club ads. Wonder if my husband is trying to send me some kind of message

I enjoy a cigar maybe once every couple of months now its showing furniture ads and my lady said yesterday that she wished she could redecorate the house. Creepy right?

You need to get rid of those Echo Dots in your house.

Mine are not appropriate at all so what gives?

There for awhile I was getting ads for "the best bra for women over 50"...

And now I'm looking at an ad for Mission® Margarita Guacamole.

Aren't those hardcoded into MiceChat's front page?

Well, Ive stopped getting Gay cruise ads on here but now I'm getting lingerie Ads. What do they know that I don't?

EDIT: Now I'm getting an ad to upgrade my razor to get a better armpit shave.

Those are based on your internet searches.

I've gotten that same ad.

I'm now looking at an advertisement for 'Male Ultracore Male Performance Supplement', again on my work computer in incognito mode. Weird stuff.

Yes that’s the whole reason for my post and why I’m confused.

What's weird is the similarities between the ads we're getting. I promise none of my google searches would give them any reason to think I'd be interested in bras for women over 50... and I'm willing to guess Mac Tonight is the same way.

I'm currently looking at an ad for Cadillac which is far more benign, but once again out of left field since I'm not much of a car person and certainly don't research Cadillac.

The conclusion I’ve come to is their is some sort of bias (or maybe it’s reality I dunno) that says if you are a grown adult spending time on a Disney Park forum you most likely gay or a female. Not sure of the terminology but I wouldn’t be surprised if Ads were set up to target this demo on these kind of sites.

I think you're probably right. I'm not getting those kinds of ads, but I am getting ,almost exclusively, ads for stylish face masks. For some time, I've mostly been reading the threads having to do with the coronavirus (and this one), so I seem to be targeted based on what content I read here.

Ad blockers are a wonderful thing, I recommend Ad Blocker Ultimate for Firefox.

I wonder which threads are prompting the lingerie ads then...talk of hotel rooms?

I used to work for Grand American Fare at the San Diego location, but came up to the corporate offices in Santa Monica on a regular basis. They used to give away Pink Cadillacs in Contests, like Crab Races.

Reliving the good times

MAIN STREET — The music was loud, the drinks were cheap, and there was never a cover. From the 1960s through the early ‘90s, the Oar House Bar & Buffalo Chips Restaurant was the place to go on Main Street for a night of debauchery and all around good times.

I suspect that people who read a general cross section of this site get the ads targeted to gays and women, as @mickEblu suggested, whereas I've been focused lately on a specific topic, so the tracking is feeding me ads based on the narrow content I've been reading.

But what do I know? Just a guess.

Make sure to use ad blockers at Micechat. Dusty considers you a thief if you block his ads and just look at his pictures.

Well luckily I don’t visit that site very often so I don’t have to worry about that.

Probably the clearest and closest flyover Disneyland I’ve ever seen. Look how colorless GE looks compared to the rest of the park. Fast forward to about 8:40

I really don't get why they made Star Wars land so gray and beige. It feels unfinished. Like cement that's not been painted.
