Fascinating and creepy. Makes me want to delete all my browser cookies at the end of every session. Even though I never see the ads...
Indeed.
I have no issues with the text ads on the Google search page, or with the small, unobtrusive ads on Ravelry. I use an adblocker as a matter of reflex, but I've never felt it necessary to block out the Rav ads because they don't get in my face or on my nerves, and I've even clicked on them occasionally when they looked interesting. It's the garish animated ads that bother me and that give online advertising in general a bad name in my book. Having large chunks of screen real estate crawling like an anthill around the perimeter of whatever it is I'm trying to read is so distracting and stressful to me that I wouldn't even be visiting some sites if I couldn't block out the ads.

back before i finally got Ad Blocker i was being stalked by an advertisement for rubber dog doo every time i came on here! Not the only reason i decided to block ads but still! I have no idea why i was getting that one, it correlates to nothing i've randomly looked up. Out of curiosity i just went and paused the ad block to see what's being pushed on me these days...and it's Sun Tan City and anti-aging snake oil stuff. Apparently the ad people think i'm pale and old.
This page is showing wedding favors (too late, already eloped), diamond jewelry (have never liked diamonds), and really bad sushi.

I've got a pet carpet cleaner and low income dentists. (Dentists? Is that because I made a suggestion on how to wear hair at the dentist?)

Should have kept your snaggles off the keyboard and plead the 5th.

*snort* No, but the ad closest to your post is supposed to catch cheating spouses.
