I keep getting ads that say “IS YOUR BOYFRIEND CHEATING?? FIND OUT WITH THIS TRACKING APP’ and I’m trying to figure out which things I have done on the internet put me into the target demographic for those.

#I don’t have a boyfriend #I don’t like boys #I don’t mind if my partners date other people #I do not think installing tracking apps on peoples’ phones is acceptable behavior #I am mildly distressed that my browsing habits make me seem like the sort of person who would #(I have a good reason for not having adblock active in that browser atm)

Maybe they’re just throwing those ads at everyone and seeing where they stick, like those skeevy porn Tumblrs aimed at vanilla gynosexuals who follow anyone they can find as a way of advertising themselves.

…actually, do those indiscriminate ones still exist? I was just wondering that yesterday. Maybe times have changed or maybe it’s because I’m more open about my sexuality on here than I once was, but where I used to get skeevy porn Tumblrs aimed at vanilla gynosexuals, I now get skeevy porn Tumblrs aimed at hypnosis fetishists. I am weirdly pleased the skeevy porn Tumblrs gave enough fucks to bother tailoring their offerings to stuff I might actually be tempted by. (Still not going to follow them, because even without clicking through the preview pop-up alone shows they are skeevy as hell, but I appreciate the effort.)
