    shouldn’t have clicked that link on my normal browser. now my “personal” ads are going to flood me with far right conspiracy bs, adult diapers, “oWnEd tHe LiBs” content, lifted trucks for sale, truck nuts, “silver nitrate”, and trump hat bs.

      Hell yeah, siphon that money out of them

      Every time you see one of those ads is one time that someone else won’t see it

        Most of the time, I would rather have the company requesting the ad keep the money rather than Google. This is one of the rare instances where I would rather have Google and Facebook get the money.

        There are folks that dedicate a good amount of effort into wasting these ads, I hear you can even automate that.
