    I looked up directions to a mattress store and got 3 years of mattress ads on YouTube. I literally didn’t get anything else in ads aside from mattresses

      They’re playing the long con, hoping that in ten years or so you’ll remember the brands that annoyed you.

      I mostly get pregnancy and feminine hygiene related stuff nowadays. Like even YouTube tosses in a bunch of videos about pregnancy and delivering now and then. I’m a gay man, so the likelihood of me ever needing a menstrual cup, disc, or encouragement when about to give birth is very low. On the other hand I’m strangely well versed in those subjects now, so if someone wants a gay dude to cheer them on through their pregnancy I’m their guy!

        Now I’m just imagining a dude going around a maternity ward cheering on mothers in labor like it’s the most intense sports match ever.

      I was reading an Israeli news website for updates on the 2014 Israel Gaza war back when it was happening and I was getting “hot Jewish singles” ads for a whole year afterwards.
