So I checked out reddit after a long time and was going through the top of r/videogames subreddit and I could clearly see a pattern in most of the posts there. Posts were mostly like “what game ______ for you?” or “what game _____ like this?” Now I could be wrong but it doesn’t feel ‘organic’ (if that’s correct way to put it). It’s like these are put up intentionally. Thoughts?

    I agree with all your other statements, but offer you this one counterpoint: you’re getting the interesting ones.

    Some program out there calculated once that *I* have a low to moderate chance of being female, but very little of anything else I look up could be considered advertiser friendly. Their only option remaining was to make all my targeted ads dumbass sweatshop clothes and feminine hygiene products forever.

      Yea it’s unfortunate how that works. I rarely see ads anyways at home since I have unlock and the full suite of privacy apps.

      I do enjoy watching cartoon network and their ads when I’m at a hotel on vacation. It’s nostalgic.
