I realised this myself when i had to watch some youtube video in a browser without adblock. There was literal porn as an ad. The second of two was some hentai game, but at least it was half blurred. I have no idea who used that browser to get those targeted ads, it was a shared computer.

Even the companies displaying the ads can’t always tell why a particular ad was displayed to a particular person.
Thats the thing.
They used to know.
Because instead of shitty algorythms, some sales person would go out and be lke “hey Ford, want to advertise on our car website?”
