The ads at DU are so well targeted it's kind of freaky to me.

I was shopping amazon for a backpack. I get ads for the exact backpack I was interested in. I was searching google for a piece of aquarium lighting. I get ads for the same lighting. I haven't had an ill targeted ad for a few weeks and frankly it's kind of bothering me. I feel like I'm being watched. :suspicious::shiftyeyes:

2. All of our keystrokes are being kept. I've noticed the same thing. Thank God, excuse me, Google.

Use an ad blocker so you won't see what Big Brother is up to. Not like it's gonna change, anyway.

6. I put a food thread up in the lounge and a food ad was there by the next day.

I once googled some dance item. Separately I googled my home city. Next I looked there was an ad for a local adult dance school. I'm used to it now.
