Incongruous Ads on PugSki

[James]

What really impressed me is how they get that cow down into the basement. Those basement stairs are narrow and steep. Certainly don't want to be the dude on the bottom leading the cow down the stairs.

You have to pick your time too. It's a crowded street.

Not sure if incongruous.
Not sure if (in)appropriate.
Not sure what on earth this is.
Not gonna click to find out.

It is a vaping pen.

Why no sense? It's like AAA for boats - and at least they got the SoCal right?

I bought a Kayak this summer .... maybe they assume that I will be unable to paddle and will need a tow?

You did say you wanted fresh. Didn't ya?

Hmmm, wonder if the user name 'Milo of Crouton' is taken already.

Nope. We have all that. We live in Big Bear LAKE so we are on the water a lot in summer. Ironically, we bought the Kayak because our speed boat bit the dust and we’re holding off on buying a new one for a couple of years. We were towed by Lake patrol which offers it as a “free” service paid for by our annual lake registration. There is no way the interwebs could know any of that though.

They know now . . . lol.

At least I haven’t gotten ads for these.

Ohhhh, my car is registered and I get offers from dealerships.

I know one would have to marry up an IP address to a registration but technology is great if one buys data.

Any items bought for your boat may be sufficient too.

I recently looked at an auto parts site. One of the choices besides inputting your VIN number to match parts was inputting your license plate. Never seen that.

So, it's about here.

well, that's cause you don't live in Wisconsin!

I had an incongruous incident at this website yesterday when I saw an ad for “bras for women over 50.”

No screenshot of the gals happily gathered to show off the goods because I clicked away as fast as I possibly could.

View attachment 80260 This is the current ad on this page for me .... and it makes no sense.

I'll see your tow and raise you a whole new career!

If one is viewing Pugski from a location where others are also using the same network, might one see ads related to what the others are viewing? Likewise, might they be seeing skiing related ads, even though they aren't skiers? When I'm viewing Pugski from different locations, I get a different set of ads, even though I browse the same sites from each location. When at home, if I turn off an ad I'm not interested in, I never see it again, but in other places, ads that I try to turn off keep coming back anyway. I came to believe it was because others are going to places that bring those ads back to the common network that everyone uses.

 

[cantunamunch]

Yes. I mentioned above that the ad placement service does not distinguish between two devices on the same router.

The way to contaminate Location 2 with ads from Location 1 is to keep a device on both routers logged into the same Gmail/Facebook/Instagram account. Very easy to do with TVs, for example. So herself goes off VPN at home and shops for something -> TV is logged into FB and YouTube -> I see ads on my phone the moment I use an app instead of a blocking browser.

What's absolutely amazing is how many third party apps instantly grab your FB/Instagram/Gmail login info without asking. I'm looking at you, Pandora!

Right after posting on the Boeing thread, I got a bunch of ads for new avionics for my Cessna. Sharp targeting!

But that new Garmin radio looks pretty cool...
