doesn't anyone here know about adblock?

I use it. It stops pop ups and prevents adds from automatically playing in the background. Works pretty good, and is free too.
 
Adblock Plus + Adblocker Ultimate. It never hurts to run more than one at a time. Plus my antivirus has a built in ad blocker which is kinda nice. So technically 3.

But back on topic:
Like others have said, I've noticed ads follow me around on facebook and the likes. Or I get "Recommended" pages or people to follow on other social media. I'll get "Promotional" emails from places like pampers and such. I also notice an increased amount of specific ads on ondemand programs.

The funny thing is, the more ads I see for a product, the less I want to buy it. If you're that desperate for my money, attract it in the store when I'm actually looking for said product. Advertisements make me want to buy products less because they waste my time.

There's no need to run three ad blockers! It's not a major issue, but it might be slowing your browser down a bit.

You could check which blocklists each ad blocker is using, and then add all the ones you want into your favourite blocker and uninstall the rest.

I think uBlock Origin has more features, so you might prefer that over uBlock.

Often my google searches reflect things in youtube and facebook.

For example me searching adult diapers, those ads will follow me everywhere, one time I was watching gay porn, and before I know it, gay pride ads were following me around.

Really, I shit you not xD I always see ads for incontinent products, not that I care too much, but I don't like depends xD

It's probs in some huge data collection pile xD.
If your setting are not secure things you do in you tube can show up in Facebook and other places, of course Google tracks everything you do watch and say so it can drive ad's to your interests, if disable that feature it will send you random sales crap, instead of using what you do and where you shop to drive ads , of course they still track you and sell the information ,but don't target the ads you see .
