Probably the same thing going on inside Google with user feedback on search results and ads. At some point, after years of clicking the almost invisible [x] on the top of "hot singles near you" and ads for mail order brides from various countries and patiently telling Google it wasn't relevant, I got fed up, tilted, clicked the ad, found the contact address and explained in sufficient detail how Google scammed them by including me and others who absolutely weren't interested at all. Sometime after that it suddenly stopped and now I only get irrelevant ads, not disgusting, embarrassing or insulting ones. I can't say if what I did made the difference or not, but I can say that years of telling Google did change nothing. (Or to be fair: when I said I didn't want Russian mail order brides they would admittedly show me some other nationality next time). Also today I have almost completely[1] given up Google and I don't feel I break an unspoken contract by blocking ads anymore. [1]: Visited Google the other day and noticed they had brought back a working context menu with a working "view cached result" option, but it would take 200 more such fixes, many of them much bigger, to restore Google.
