Sometimes I use a brouser that is not connected to my membership in DU.

It happens, so when I use that one, I see all the ads...I just saw one about 5 minutes ago...
the ad said,..
......................"Learn where to vote Republican"

It was at the top and the sides of the front page..


......................... NO, I did not click on that ad..

But it was a strange one to see on top of Democratic Underground

1. It's all part of a cunning plan, actually.

republicans pay for ads on DU. A complete waste of money for them.

2. I think the republican ads are all over the internet, but I rarely see them..

Most of them are blocked one way or another.. I am saddened that some people believe them. With the liar in chief around, it is so clear that they lie most of the time....about almost everything...

3. Just sign in when using that browser and all will be back to normal.

4. Actually everyonece in a while, I don't mind seeing the ads..once a month or so..

I get to see what non members see. Once in a while it is ok, but only once in a while..

5. I see local Republican ads all the time

I click on them cause it costs them $ !!!!!

6. When I opened DU incognito in Chrome...

... I got ads for expensive outdoor wear.

I guess the advertising AIs don't know I get half my clothes at thrift stores. Well, except my underwear and socks, which I generally buy at Target.

The most expensive outdoor wear I own is nearing thirty years old and still going strong. Okay, maybe these days it looks like I bought it in a thrift store; it's a bit scarred by fishing hook and falling-off-of-mountains sorts of accidents, but I'm okay with that.

Wait, wait, there's an ad about how I should invest in the cannabis industry... but why would I do that? If I wanted some cannabis I'd grow it alongside the tomatoes.

Oh, at last!

"Girls Who Took it too Far with their Halloween costumes..."

Maybe next Halloween I can be on the list.

But not if I have to shave. I don't shave anything for anyone.

7. Nope it's 100% normal.

It shocks me people don’t understand how internet advertising works yet.
