    Just so you know, those ads are based on what you search and open.

    Not for aliexpress on ads when outside the app, they share a lot of shock stuff so people screenshot and spread their name further.

    These ads are based on attracting attention and they work.

    No not necessarily. I got some weird ads that absolutely do not reflect my Internet usage. Such as child sized life like dolls that are obviously giving pedo vibes

    not really, i think those aliexpress ads purposefully choose weird shock value items to get you to click.

    The third one gave me PTSD cause I found out my dad was adopted and hid it from me and in response to my text about it when I confronted him he sent me that meme

    You're certainly into some things.

    The Chinese laugh at us because over there this debacle wouldn't be a thing. They are even more racist over there. And they know sucker Americans will buy this stuff.

    OP's AE search algorithm is funny, I guess looking for cringe stuff isnt just for google/youtube, its also for shopping.
