> You must be in an NSFW ad bubble.
No, i get the trypophobia-triggering (DON'T GOOGLE THAT WORD) chumbox images when browsing in incognito mode, without pre-existing cookies or anything else. This has nothing to do with my ad bubble, https://theawl.com/a-complete-taxonomy-of-internet-chum-de0b7a070a2d https://theawl.com/a-complete-taxonomy-of-internet-chum-de0b... has mentioned that the chumboxes very often carry those images.
Also i'm not the only one, there's lots of other people who attest to the fact that chumboxes specifically use those kinds of images: http://ask.metafilter.com/247987/How-can-I-avoid-seeing-related-web-content-with-horrible-images http://ask.metafilter.com/247987/How-can-I-avoid-seeing-rela...
- wernercd 10y agoIt's sad that I know immediately which ads are "trypophobia" tiggerers... now that i know what that phobia means...
- aptwebapps 10y agoTotally anecdotal, but I think I see worse stuff in incognito mode than otherwise. Perhaps the default is bad, but with tracking you can get into a less bad bubble?
- emmelaich 10y agoThat makes sense; you'll get the cheapest, crappiest ads, when the prospective revenue is lowest (i.e. no other related tracking data)
