My computer recently died and I have been using the IPad. I have never used the IPad to search porn.
I went to a site to view a TV series. When I clicked on the episode, a bunch of porn pages opened. The computer has flash block and add block, the iPad doesn’t.
So, how do they know I am a male heterosexual?
I posted this in MPSIMS for the entertainment value. But, if you have GQ responses, I would like to read them.
According to the porn ads I get, I’m male and heterosexual as well, and either white, or a black guy seriously into white women, particularly ones with shaved pussies. And I like my women on the skinny side, although I don’t mind fake boobs.
iPads do not have flash block because the have no need of it: they do not run flash. You must be getting javascript pop-up stuff, which can be disabled in some browsers, but that would disable a lot of content.
Spam is spam. I get all kinds of spam for ads wanting to sell me something to enlarge my p3n1s. I don’t know what a p3n1s is, but whatever it is, I definitely don’t have one.
For a while now I’ve noticed that sites with Flash ads will serve non-Flash ads if you don’t have Flash installed. And nearly all popups are JavaScript anyways.
And, yeah. While women are into porn these days, and gay people have always been just as into porn, the majority of people looking for porn are still straight men. Type “nude ____,” into Google Image Search, where ____ is a nationality or gender neutral profession or even stuff like “selfies,” and most if not all your results will be women.
My first thought is: What TV show? If you’re watching Ax Men, Bar Rescue, or Sports Center… well, yeah, they know you’re a heterosexual male with a fair degree of certainty. Some shows exist on TV for no other reason than the fact that they attract a narrow demographic that advertisers want to sell things to.
But my second thought is that spammers don’t really care who you are. They sell what sells. They already know that 99.9% of the market will ignore them, so even if you personally at not interested, they’re still after that one who is. Targeting their ads by audience might get a 99.8% ignore rate instead, but it’s still a numbers game where a massive volume of viewings generate a small number of responses.
For the first couple years I was on Facebook, I got both dating ads “for mature people only” in addition to ones showing scene girls. They finally stopped showing me dating ads at all when I told them I was “not the proper demographic” for an annoying recurring ad for a country bar even though I was indeed in the right location, gender, and age: they didn’t ask if I was a rock-listening introvert. I guess they haven’t figured out my demographic yet.
