I block ads on my computer and my phone browser (shoutout to Orion), so I only see ads on my TV (because it's an old smart TV. I know, I know, but I'm not in a financial place to ditch it and buy a new one.) I have no idea what info advertisers have on me, but by the fact that at least half my ads are for fast food, they clearly haven't picked up on the fact that I not only don't eat meat, but that I've been avoiding fast food for over 20 years. They also haven't picked up on my age or that I'm a woman, since I also get ads for Medicare scams Part D as well as for men's healthcare products. Sometimes the ads are in Spanish, which makes it even better.

It's all such a waste of time and resources, the only benefit being that my reflexes stay strong as I hit that "mute" button at the first sign of an ad break.
