Do you get weird advertising?

I do watch videos about tactical gadgets sometimes. And about tinkering. But most often about fitness and I think it's the most likely reason why I get these ads.
 
Not sure. I watch YouTube on the tv, but without logging in to an account.

On the other hand, the identifying codes might be linked to my access terminal data.

I don't watch survivalist stuff though, or anything that would lead an algorithm to imagine I'm a survivalist.

Somebody to paying to place ads in dumb places.
Correct, it's both.

There's your location, which is general based upon where your internet service provider is located. Then there's the algorithm determined by your search history and usage, which can further narrow down information.

My laptop often seems to think I am an older woman - I get ads for Depends and skin care lol. I guess I watch too many cat videos.
