Aurora rules. (and doesn’t track you)
This is top level enshittification. You’re showing the user an ad that is, as OP says, the opposite of what they want, and then charging Truth Social for the impression. Magnificent!
‘Targeted advertising’ is shockingly untargeted. As the underpinning of our digital economy, the value of online advertising is dangerously overinflated.
When I watched youtube on my phone, logged into my google profile, I got generic TV ads for women’s hair care products.
I am a bald man.
The only time I ever click on an ad for anything is because I want to see exactly how much they are charging for whatever clearly ridiculous thing they’re advertising. Meaning I was never planning on buying it. Thankfully, that is rare.
I didn’t realize til now the logo looks just like polyend
I like how they expertly hide the fact that it’s nazi propaganda and the photos are like “uh, here’s some pictures of plants! It’s uh, people share uh, gardening tips yeah!”
At least they show what they think of women.
Don’t know if it works on iOS, but in Android you can block ads systemwide by setting your DNS server to dns.adguard-dns.com.
Note that this may occasionally interfere with things. I was having trouble with in-flight WiFi last time I flew, and I once I switched the Private DNS setting back to Automatic, it suddenly worked.
True. Public wifi doesn’t like it when you use your own DNS servers cause it makes it slightly harder for them to spy on you and inject ads into web pages.
Thankfully all you gotta to is switch the DNS setting to Off (or Automatic), then re-enable it when you’re home. Takes 10 seconds.
When I see an ad to that, I download it on an old device, then uninstall it and give it a 2 star review.
I appreciate your dedication
