Algorithm(s) thinks I’m a menopausal Latina woman who loves cats, and wants to drive a truck/SUV. I also get a ton of of the ‘is your boyfriend/husband abusing you?’ type of therapy-talk content, which is hilarious.
Most of my ads are for menstrual products and std/hormone pharma drugs, then it’s a mix of cat/pet product ads and lots of truck/suv ads. At least 1/3 are in spanish.
Only one of these that is remotely accurate is I do have a cat.

I don’t use Facebook and use all the ad blockers, but apparently I’m still tracked by IP.
When my SO and I started dating, he hooked to my wifi one day and immediately started getting ads on Facebook for various lawn care products. He’d never had those come up before, lived in an apartment all his adult life, and has never searched for any kind of gardening supplies.
I, on the other hand, do have a lawn that I take care of and frequently shop for various landscaping stuff. But he gets the ads for them.
