I am getting some from a company named Revolve.  Woman's clothing.  Some pretty good looking models in short skirts and dresses.

The ads are targeted based on your browsing history and interests.

GB Adblock and UBlock...

This.

Adblock in Chrome gets rid of them.

Yes. We will have some new ad units moving forward and we're in a testing phase at the moment. Once testing is done (a few days), some of the ad placements will be removed. Thanks for your patience.

I understand that.  I do have an interest in attractive females.  My browser history, however includes no women's clothing purchases in more than a few years.

 

Just now I got two, Allbirds shoes and Kia vehicles. I've never heard of the firtst nor have i looked at shoes on line.  and as for the latter that is a swing and a miss as well.  They might have found history on ford, Nissan, Chevy, and Ram trucks, but not Kia.

God, yet another instance people trying to nickel and dime us to death.

Literally nickle and diming. Ads typically pay just under 1 penny per ad view i believe, although that depends.

I didn't mind the small strip ad at the top of the page and have even made a few purchases from it, but today was overload. Got the ad blocker and now they are all gone.

No bueno.

Awful on phone. 
 

added the chrome blocker on my computer but now I can’t go to most sites without getting a popup about my popup blocker 😂. CBS sports, pga tour.com  and it’s every time you go to a new page. I’ll probably disable the blocker.
