Dynamic Ads: Helpful or Creepy?

by **Jeff** Mon Jan 24, 2011 9:11 am

This is referring to the Google ads, etc. much like the one a little bit above this text. The ones that use your browsing history to "recommend" you certain websites.

I, for one, find them to be a bit creepy, especially when they get the impression I'm a pregnant mother and therefore want to look at different pregnancy websites... which I clearly am not.

Discuss.

I don't care because I use adblock to block ads.

But...

They are really weird. Especially one that said something about me being some sort of drug addicted old guy... O.o

The beauty of AdBlock, it even works on YouTube. Smile

I'm neutral to ads.

I simply ignore them Razz

So, I went and got AdBlock Smile

Works like a charm.

Kinda makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside... or maybe that's the sandwich I had for lunch.

...

Anyway, let's discuss.

AdBlock is a blessing, it makes internet surfing less 1984-ish. Shocked

Haha, graphic adds, wouldn't be the same Internet without them, I fell kind of stupid when i look at them though O.o

True, they also creep me out Razz
