@sertaptap @ifixcoinops Reminds me of the time a few years back when I bought a telescope and started seeing ads featuring the same exact model. I guess ad networks think all amateur astronomers make really large, unwieldy binoculars out of their telescopes.

@sertaptap @ifixcoinops On a related note: targeted ads are shitty on multiple counts, but one of the most apparent is that the ad networks often aren’t even taking into account actual buying habits. Using amateur astronomers as an example—many of us have more than one telescope, but if we are looking at buying a telescope, we’re not generally contemplating a second telescope immediately afterwards. Their ads would probably be more effective (overall anyway) if they advertised accessories (like eyepieces and star charts and what have you) instead, but they don’t seem to have figured that out.
