    Holy fucking shit. That's so fucking grim. Just marketing war brides. Human trafficking with extra steps.

      No, I have also seen those ads on an account where I haven't seen those. I think they are just pushing it like crazy to anyone they think is male

    Yup, I get these with ad personalisation off. Plus non-stop ads for Tel Aviv/Jerusalem and Saudi Arabia. Truly cursed.

    I've been getting those as well as ads for the Church of Scientology larping as a social justice org

    Ublock on my computer, but whenever I have to open YouTube on my phone I get a deluge of ads like these but for Muslim women.

    I do not know where the ad provider gets the (incorrect) idea that I am attracted to women and/or I am a Muslim.

      edit: also I'm clearly listening to GETChan, which makes me more based than everyone who isn't listening right now 😎

    So, I was just curious enough to look into whether "MySpecialDates" was a legit fucked human trafficking operation or a scam for dumb incels, and according to...

    (Warning, the site is covered in annoying popup ad shit)
