The consensus seems to be stop searching out Trump and the ads will change. > [@Do we need gun ads?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-we-need-gun-ads/929284/27): > > It’s based on your browser history, IP, and anything else that those sneaky ad companies can figure out about you. It doesn’t have to be something direct, i.e. you didn’t have to search for guns. It could be something less directly related, such as the fact that you browse the Straight Dope and we have gun threads here.
