Go to solution Solved by Stampkonijn,

Way to many people need to understand that he was in school, so all porn related sites are blocked (yes I tried :P ).Also, we're not using google chrome @ school so we can't log in and get our ads trough our at-home search history.

I got the Asian one too, oh and this one. Should I be worried?

LOL OP.

 

Like everyone said, Google Ads are based on YOUR search/browsing history. Not LTTs settings. 

 

Sites like Pirate Bay don't care, they only show a particular set of ads regardless. But thats not LTT. LTT leaves it up to Google to figure out what ads to show you. 

 

Right now I either get adds for SSDs or ads to BH Photo. 

 

Run OP, run. Leave this thread behind and try not to be too embarrassed.

Although it is left up to google LTT still have some say, for instance to not show gambling ads or alcohol or smoking. the adsense admin panel has a bit of choice.

If thats what your search history suggests, thats what you'll get. 

 

what, we don't advertise those things in real life all over the place? Why should the internet be any different?

Hey I am not trying to say that it should be different however when you sign up to adsense (I have done this) and when you create an ad unit you have censor options so if I don't want drug related adverts on my site no matter what, then you can set that, and the majority will not be shown. For instance "Gambling & Betting (18+)" is already restricted by default unless you allow it. You can block ads via the ad network or even via the url that those ads direct to. It will instead go to something else in that users history and display ads for that.

 

It is the same as say advertising in a shop window, the owner of the shop gets to say what goes up and what doesn't.

With Google I know what the ads are based on and how I can turn off personalized ads but there are other ad services and I have no idea how they work. Escapist.com always offers me some swinger sex site or whatever and it's the same ad 90 percent of the time. It can't be personalized ads surely, since I'm not a 50 year old married man.

I had a funny feeling this is exactly how this thread would be haha. People always find loopholes to look at the sites they want... just sayin ;)

 

I usually get a Calibex ad selling Bose systems, and a keyboard ad on mine. This computer is clean. LOL.

Never say it's not broken. Everything is broken. Why? Because everything needs MOAR POWA!

if your trying to blame linus or anyone for the add its not their fault. its google adds their based off your history so its your fault bud 

I haven't watched any porn my computers, yet they still come up with some dodgy adds every know and then...so no its not LTT's fault, nor is it this guys

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.
