OK, I found out what [PragerU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prager_University) is by looking it up.

But I can’t look this up: every time these come up as “suggested” by Facebook, I click on the option that says “Hide -see less of this.” And the immediate ad is hidden. But it keeps coming back and coming back and coming back. Different specific issues, but always from them.

Is PragerU paying a lot of money to pop up all over Facebook? Is it something I’m doing? Any suggestions for making it stop?
