That's always a fun response, but the algorithm is a lot more complicated than that. For example, the #1 thing I get on ads here (on my phone, that is, because I block them on the laptop) is Republican/pro-Trump politics, and I can assure you I don't ever browse for that. #2 is women's clothes (not sexy clothes, just normal dresses and shirts), and I have never bought clothes for myself online before, much less for a woman.
For whatever reason, the algorithm has used my habits to infer some kind of picture of me and thinks I'm going to click on those ads, but I think we can all see that it's missed the mark.
As for the OP, he's probably not already doing gay hookups, so he wouldn't need the ad. But something about him, whether it's his habits, or his location and perceived demographics or whatever, has convinced the algorithm that he might be a candidate to be interested in one, whether that's based on something actually there or just another AI screwup.

Not just browser history but your phone does actually "listen" to you and what you talk about... So if it has heard him with another man or engaging in intercourse with another man that could be why he is being presented those type of ads.

100% bullshit. It's tied to this website. I get Angry Birds ads. (Never played in my life)
I get female hygiene products ads. And I've also seen the Gay Test ads. I'm almost 60 and at this point in life it's too late to figure out whether I'm gay or not. I'll just roll with ***** until I die.

I just got one for "shocking WWII photos," which doesn't align with anything I've looked for.
Granted, the algorithm coming up with "history nerd" is a lot closer to the truth than "Republican woman (/crossdresser?)" so maybe it's getting better.

Latest ads for hardware and chairs.
I've never bought either online or looked into it, but the algorithm probably picked up on "~40 male homeowner with family, living in Mississippi" and made a couple of reasonable guesses.

Graham is the worst kept secretly gay man in the universe. It?s all the other conservatives that hide behind their projection. Just look at who gets arrested for child sex abuse more than any other sector of the population.

Please site the study because I've never seen a direct study to conclude that conservatives are much more likely to commit child sex abuse than liberals. Oh there have been anecdotal claims of this on social media platforms but no actual studies showing a direct correlation. The closest was about religious men who commit child sex crimes. The honest biggest conclusion you could make from that study in the late 90's was that 93% of child sex predators identified themselves as religious (not the type of religion just religious) which unsurprisingly equaled to the fact 93% of the entire population also identified themselves as religious during that time.

Makes sense since last night I ran for an hour on the treadmill at the hotel then ate a bacon cheeseburger with fried onions at the hotel bar. I didn't search anything about those things - so definitely listening to what's going on around me.
