Personalized Ads

Post by poorpete »

What peculiar or demographically incorrect ads are you getting lately?

Me:

Dentures

Wigs

Bras for small breasts (I mean this is probably the closest, I'm probably an A cup)

Brown light overalls with big pockets fits all sizes

Lol a cup! Or if they think your kids are old enough to need one that could be it?

My advertising profile apparently is "older African American lady with grown kids". At one point I looked at my Facebook cookies or whatever they call it, and there too I am an older African American woman. Lately I am frequently presented with a bra that was designed by some woman in her 60s and is supposedly extremely comfortable to older women worldwide! So, not the A cup but still bras! This horrible bra has snaps down the front. Snaps!

Lately I've been getting a lot of advertisements about roofing companies - could be due to hail storms which did not affect us, luckily. I am also constantly bombarded with some b******* from both Temu and shop HQ. I've never shopped at these places and probably never will.

Walk in bathtubs.

No shit, about three years ago I saw an ad on TV for a walk in bathtub and I thought, "How does that work?" So out of curiosity I googled it to figure out how they work. It wasn't very interesting. To this day I still get at least one ad a day on FB or google ads for walk in bathtubs.

I get the walk-in bathtub ads, as well, and I've never even googled them.

Oooh, that's all a few years away but good point! I also listen to about the same amount of pop music as my daughter now. I guess This is how they square it with my old timey music listening too

I get t shirt ads with sometimes bro-ey slogans, but always the models are broad shouldered and tatted up
