Never click on ads. But if one makes you curious, screenshot it to examine it more closely. (lemmy.world)

I saw this one and still have no intention of getting any closer but it did raise a valid point worthy of discussion.

See, they're apparently trying to be an exception to the toxic thing that dating apps are. But the whole concept of dating apps is toxic, and that can never be fixed. Because attraction & love don't work like that.

Unless it's just shallow people seeking other shallow people. That's the best outcome dating apps can provide.

Install adnausium on Firefox so the ad gets clicked to mess with your profile and you get an ad vault to see what you get advertised.

    Why would I want sn ad to get clicked? and why would I want it to mess with my profile? and WTF is an ad vault and why would I want that?

    My post is not about ads. My post is about that specific ad. Read it if you care. Or don't.

    I believe the intention behind it clicking the ads is so that its harder for the ad companies like google and whatnot to get accurate information on you. If all the ads are getting interest from you then they won't know which ones you'd actually be interested in. I don't use this but I think the ad vault is just the extension showing you what the ad companies think you're interested in. (I don't know why it was brought up either just thought I'd help with the first bit)
