What kind of ads or ‘suggested’ content gets pushed to you the most on the internet? Make up your new identity based on the ad/suggested content you get served the most.

Algorithm(s) thinks I’m a menopausal Latina woman who loves cats, and wants to drive a truck/SUV. I also get a ton of of the ‘is your boyfriend/husband abusing you?’ type of therapy-talk content, which is hilarious.

Most of my ads are for menstrual products and std/hormone pharma drugs, then it’s a mix of cat/pet product ads and lots of truck/suv ads. At least 1/3 are in spanish.

Only one of these that is remotely accurate is I do have a cat.

    I buy stuff online so I think I am probably profiled pretty accurately.

    But judging strictly by the ads, I am so very sick. So many drug ads for diseases I don’t have, many I’ve never heard of. Or maybe a prescriber of drugs as I get some ads targeted at doctors selling drugs to patients.

    The rest are random as far as I can tell - I just opened Yahoo to see and it’s been car insurance, drugs, drugs, crayons, personal loans, phone plans, drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs, more car insurance, toothpaste, groceries, mens spray deodorant, and again, so many drugs. And Bank of America, there is no way those fuckers would pay for me to see their ad if they knew me.
