I get a lot of those. They also think I’m all types of colors and genders while having different sexual preferences.
For the last few weeks YouTube has been serving me ads for ladies Gillette razors. My Google profile shows I’m a 41 year old straight male. Most ads are totally not relevant but this one is… out there.
Me - Buys one hairdryer
ADs for the next 3 weeks - HEY DO YOU WANT A HAIRDRYER!
How many hairdryers do they think a gal buys??!!
10-15 years ago:
Me: Buys a gaming PC
Ads: Here’s a local pizza delivery service. Want to order?

Ads: what about this gaming PC? Or that one? Maybe this upgrade kit (worse specs than what I bought) is interesting? Like this PSU/CPU/RAM/graphics card/…? Hot gamer singles in your area want to…

I once purchased floor mats for my specific car brand. Years ago. For months it tried selling me new floor mats for every brand of car in the world. I still occasionally get an email asking if I want floor mats for cars I’ve never owned. Like I’m the mat collector or some shit.
