On this site if you want to date a variety of different women. There is a advert to do that. You want to clean your Mac a advert for that. Now we have a advert for.... ready for this...."The #1 in below-the-waist grooming & Hygiene. It is called Manscaped.
And there is someone with red nail polish holding the product.
Maybe you can use when shooting RAW

Usually, I can follow most of the posts on UHH. However, your post has me completely confused and I have no idea what you are writing about.

You do realize ads are individually targeted depending on what you have been viewing on your computer.
That's the world we live in now.

Interesting thought - guess that explains why there is an ad at the top of this thread on this computer screen for "cutleryandmore.com". I've been searching the internet for a coffee sieve to grade espresso grounds for my machine. Maybe the "more" part means they have one for sale? Not gong to bite!

On just about every website, your IP address is targeted an anyone that is connected to it.( wi-Fi )
When my son is at my house and on my wifi looking up something on his phone we can see what each other have been searching for by the ads.

I don't see any ads on this, or any other site. That is unless the ads are on that site's server.

Really. Not so. These ads generate $$$$ UHH receives those advertising dollars. Right now I am seeing a add for what looks to be a memory stick that indicates this will solve your computer problems. Also one for an electric razor. Also one for seniors looking for landline connections. One for VW cars. I drive a 2017 Audi A8. No VW's

traderjohn you need to check your research before you say things or not true; UHH $$$ come from search engines like google or bing not from individual companies. Search engine you use when you look up something on the internet, these search engines track you IP address and individually target it with certain ads of things you have been shopping for. Look at the ad when you are on UHH most have a little X to close, close it and it will most likely say google ads.

One paragraph at least two typos, four year old grandson jumping up and down on you while trying to type;
Priceless!
