…forget it. Most of us choose to donate a self-selected sum to DU in order to NEVER see ads.

The ads that you are seeing are part of the internet-generated algorithms — that is some company, somewhere has paid for these ads to appear on our screens and the algorithm is responding to whatever we are talking about at the time.

Intrusive? Hell yes. Creepy? Also hell yes, because it shows they are “listening”. But if you want to be one of them, find whatever big ad agencies are doing this, and pay them the big bucks.

ON EDIT: I see you have a podcast. That may be a gray area, but others will have to speak to that.
