Disgusting Advertisement?

I must ask, before I begin pulling my hair out. Am I the only one on here that finds disgusting ads on here? Now let me state, I still have a healthy libido, and have never been called a prude. But for several weeks, as I scroll down all the sections I read, I have repeatedly seen the monster butts, usually in green, twisted flesh tone 'somethings', and several more things I'd like not to see.

I've clicked over and over that the ads are offensive, and Google constantly thanks me, but yet, there they are again.

Please don't suggest I switch to another browser. I'm curious to learn if I'm the only one receiving these awful ads.

Where is "on here"???

By that reference, most people will think the UHH site.

But you mention "Google" thanking you for your response...

I'm confused.

(I'm using Blur, so I don't see much to begin with, and pay no attention to what may get through.)

I wonder who their "audience" is?

By on 'here' I mean as I move about on UHH. Now they are probably all inserted between the various sections available to us. Even on this reading, I'm seeing more green butts, blue butts, and there is a bit "W" on the far right. Do you all not see any of this? Aren't there ads inserted into UHH as your read? Even as I type this, below, in the next window, is an ad for 'Do This to Fix Slow Wi-Fi" by wifiblastshop.com. I'm fine with that, but the disgusting porn ads are very offensive to me. And yes, I'm a teacher too, but still no prude here. Just offended by the ads, and I'm sure I'll continue to see those in the upcoming weeks.

So now you see why I was asking if I was the only one seeing them here on UHH? And maybe it's a Google thing too.

Google pushes what the computer has been used to search for lately. And that applies to sites accessed through google. Has anyone else used the computer or the home network/wifi? Or it could be a malware infection. How long since you used the various security clean up apps?
We bought a new car on the 3rd and I did a lot of research online so my computer is getting a lot of car ads here on UHH and google in general. I have been looking for accessories so now I am starting to get a lot of ads for seat covers, floor mats, roof racks and cargo carriers.
Last Dec when our daughter was home for a while she used my wifi to find the nearest Victoria's Secret since the one she knew had moved. I got VS and lingerie ads for over a month after she went back to Med School.

Well there is the hint to the answer. I would see a "w" on the right side. My other half has used an Asian site called WISH, which has many amazing values, I've looked myself. As I look over their offerings, I also see many strong sexually driven products. So there is the answer. Did the VS ads drop off after a month? When do you expect your car ads to stop? Or is that a loaded question?

I've hopefully blocked all the "Asian Hotties Want To Date YOU!!!" and "Russian Women Make Good Brides!!!" Now if I could just get rid of Canon and Nikon, life would be perfect.

Assuming your referring to all those wonderful Asian Hotties via UHH, tell me how you blocked them here?

Everyone pretty much sees different advertising. Sure, there are some common adverts but much of the advertising has to do with cookie content. I use 3 different devices to access UHH and each one displays different types of advertising. I've yet to see any sexually explicit or rainbow colored rear ends show up between conversations.
You should delete your cookies and clear your browser history and see it the Technicolor tokuses go away. The adverts I'd like to see stop is all the Trump garbage that seems to be so prevalent.

I don't know, but the ad for the car I bought kept showing up for a week. Not a great picture, poor lighting - I got a much better view just looking in my driveway. The car had a page to itself on the dealer's "pre-owned" site because it is a 2017 that sat in court impound for two years when a dealer went out of business and the state said it could not be sold as new by the dealership that bought it from the court - 36 miles on the odometer from test drives and being driven from the impound yard to the dealer that bought it along with over a dozen others, all 2017 & 2018 new vehicles. I got an original $31K msrp suv for under $21K. One of those high end used car companies near me has a 2018 with fewer extras advertised for $20K. It seems the brand had too many dealers so sales at each was low, they jerked the franchises for 4 dealerships in the LA Metro area at the same time and a bunch of "new" 2017 and early 2018 vehicles are available at dealerships around the area since the courts released them for sale, as "pre-owned". They also had to put plates on them and so I got plates good until next June. We will have to decide what to do with them since my wife's handicap plates are going on the new one as soon as I feel brave enough to go to DMV (a branch of Hell here in CA) and have them switched before we donate the old car. Then I start looking for one for me, my 2001 is in need of a lot of work and very soon a new transmission. I saved enough on this one we can afford payments on another one.
The new one is like driving a laptop with a whole new operating system that just happens to have an SUV built around it.

I hope it might be okay with the System Operator for me to reflect on your DMV in CA. It's the same hell that our Missouri DMV resides, especially with Real I.D.

I'll stop here, for I think we've identified the source of the advertisement on UHH, and perhaps the System Operator already knows this, and if not, we've helped the SysOp to learn what goes on "behind his/her back", as it were. And thank you for permitting us to learn what drives the Ads on here.
