Eh...
My adverts are all related to various people in my and my partner's friend circle and past, but it's really weird overall.
My ex-wife ran off with a man who offered to 'help fix our marriage'[0], that man became a 'preacher'.
There were a few periods where I would get lots of adverts telling me to go to Israel to 'get closer to my religion' after that.
When I became friends with someone on discord I started getting a lot of ads for Schizophrenia meds.
During Covid, I had a conversation with a colleague about 'getting tested for covid' and the fucking ad engine decided to slip in ads where a bunch of men in a bar are chatting all happy and the announcer politely talks about STD testing in the foreground.
Speaking of, the last few days I've been getting lots of ads for PReP. It took me a minute for that one, my best guess at present is some friends that are swingers got engaged recently so they've come up more in conversation.

The most shocking to this day however, was way back when Youtube ads got the juxtoposition of "You looked up how your boss's boss was a goat breeder" and "Watching Periodic Table of the Elements" as backgroudfall-asleep audio, led to a a few months straight of advertisements for a company selling Tanks to hold insemination material, 'SemenTanks.com'. Still in business despite the garish font they used 11+ years ago.
