Dating ads barrage

    Why am I constantly seeing "Meet Ukrainian Women Online" ads when I log onto pF on my mobile?

    Is this a modelling site or a dating site?? I know ads pay for the site upkeep etc. but can't we block these? Can't ads be more targeted? Or do we just have to put up with any old crap that floats in on the ether?

    And No I haven't been looking for them elsewhere so it can't be a cookies issue (before any "comedians" chime in with predictable jokes). It's very annoying, even though the women are undeniably hot-looking by any metric.

    Too bad you’re not allowing jokes Steve. I could have made several, but will respect your wishes... :)

    Seriously, the ads are selected by an automated negotiation (through an algorithm). No idea why this tends to give you that particular add. I am shown ‘kinetic art’ these days.
    All the best and don’t click the wrong button....

    I use adblocker on my pc but don't know if it is available for phones. The only ads I see are "built in" to pages like pinterest.

    I don't know either Bill. I have AdBlocker on my PC, which seems to work. But not on my phone.

    At my age Steve they would be regarded as a compliment.

    As Ferris mentioned it is an algorithm. Do you see those ads on PF only or do they follow you on the web?
