The ads this site is plastered with lately suck... I've got a wife I love (IOW, the real thing). Why do I want to see all that? Is it just me (are they targeted), or does everyone get the same thing?

Now we've got the male female basketball player in the mix... It's just sick. I guess I'm going to have to stop coming on here (which will probably not be bad news to anyone I suppose).

I'm not seeing anything like that on my laptop, but I believe most times those images are Google type ads that may had got installed in your computer without one knowing it...See if the following video might help clear things up on your end.

Most of the time those adds are generated by the history and search of the individual user. Anyone else using your computer?
This morning I was looking at some Garmin stuff and a Garmin add is at the bottom of the page as I type this.

I get car ads and custom electrical and marine component ads. most targeted advertisement is tailored to the users IP browser history. I also run an adblocker on the browsers

It takes less than a minute for crap I'm searching for to show up in my ads here and everywhere. I just tried incognito mode and mostly got age appropriate things like insurance and RVs but here I got body painted girls. Try signing in from the wife's device and see what you get. If she's a good wife she will understand that you don't want to see the stuff and help you figure it out.

Clear history, cache, cookies. You will of course need to re sign I to all saved sites.

You might also try clearing out your cache and see if that changes what you're getting as ads.

I don't have any problem on this site through three different browsers when logged in (mostly boat ads right now). But when I come to the forums "incognito" through Chrome, I've had a just couple of (very tame) "come see her" ads - mixed in with a TON of random coupon and click bait ads.
