This reminds me of a strange ad I got from Facebook back in the early days( 2009 or so ). I had dated a Korean girl for a brief period of time , and the moment we broke up ( via Facebook) Facebook started spaming me with dating ads. All the dating ads had Asian women in them
I meet this girl in real life, so it's not like they tracked my web activity. I've always felt like they read your messages, the people you interact with , and then build a model of you.
- SPBS 6y agohow did it even know you'd broken up? that sounds more worrying

- el_oni 6y agoI was "married" to another guy on facebook during my undergrad, one of those joke scenarios. My interest was set to women. However, i kept getting gay dating ads. I always thought that was weird, why would it give me dating ads if i was married? I've always wondered how it weighed my preference and my apparent relationship status.

I view these as Validation apps as most people don't meet anyone . In that case even if your happily married you might still seek validation for the low low price of 35$ a month.
