> bombard my Mum with gambling ads
I get loads of financial scams, especially crypto scams. It used to be Russian wife services and gambling. Probably because I turned off ad personalization for my Google account, so I get the lowest grade ad stock there is.
- snailmailman 5y agoI’ve also turned off ad targeting and have experienced the same. Lots of scam ads, many of them for crypto. I’ve tried to report a few of the more blatant scam ads, but the reporting process is tedious and not worth wasting my time on. Like the “free fortnite v-bucks” at a sketchy site is 100% stealing your account right? Thankfully I don’t see those very often so presumably google takes them down quick.
