STW ad of the day

First congrats to the tech team for finally getting a level of avertising that means the site is still useable on PC at least and hopefully brings in some revenue. Present but not too intrusive - I've decided to embrace it as part of the STW experience. The algorithm seems to be learning, initial ads were not at all appropriate, some disgusting and one probably not legal where I live - they're now a mix of life style, hobbies and stuff for OAPs (which I'm soon to be). So today it's Saracen obviously (thank you Saracen) heat pumps, Patagonia, solid wood furniture, hearing aids, a blood pressure monitor, a sauna, a huge CNC milling machine, a metal supplier - all geographically and linguistically correct. And for an aspirational bod like me my faves of the day:

Today I have memory-pillow.com, Starlink for 35e per month, military trousers, air-conditioning and Ali Express with all sorts of goodies, mostly for bikes but some have got me guessing.

Presumably the criterion the algorithm has matched on there is "French."

I just seem to get a selection of large breasted middle aged ladies sometimes from South East Asia in my adverts.

It's like the instagram algorythm rabbithole, but as ads......

 

Mountain biking -> mountain biking, with women -> mountain biking, all women -> mountain bikes AND women who clearly don't ride -> bikini women near a bike -> bikini women -> tits.

 

Everything leads to tits eventually...

How do I get these ads?  I feel like I'm missing out.

Do I need to subscribe to something?

Seriously folks?

I thought that we had grown out of this sort of thing.
