WGTicon: I think they are tailored specifically for you
Without a doubt they are. It's done with those tracking cookies all the advertisers plant on your computer. You can be browsing around looking at stuff and then come here and see ads for what you just looked at.
Actually it is Google who is placing the ads. It's Adchoice. If you ever go to google, you will soon see ads for what you searched on earlier. WGT of course sells the ad space to google so WGT is partially responsible.
Re: political ads: anyone who believes anything a presidential or other canidate says is really really stupid. Not one of the campainge promises are able to be done by one person.
Politics these days is already done before the voting, so why bother listening to anything a politician says. Your individual vote does not count for a hill of beans today.
Utill they change how voting works (how about online or at least online at the polls.) the outcome of the vote is determined NOT by popular vote, but by the largest states with the most electoral votes. Therefore, the individual vote is worthless.
just my opinion after 50 years of experience.
