Imgur infiltrated? Infected? Invested?

Feb 24, 2025 6:34 PM

So I keep seeing Starlink ads on Imgur (here in sunny Germany). Anybody else? It's probably just an algorithm thing, I guess... right... ? Also, I think that thing is pitched at the same angle as the back of Ol' Muskie's Wankmobile.

You may be a victim of targeted marketing as a German citizen. As an experiment, and if you have access to a vpn use it. See if bubi elon loses access to you

Did you go to their website at any point? Advertising relies on targeting (you're in Germany, you see a German ad) as other people mentioned. But another major way you get targeted, especially if you see the ad repeatedly, is called "retargeting". If you went there once they put cookies on your computer, not just from Starlink.com but from Google Ads and all the other ad managers saying "This person is interested in..." and viola, no you see this ad over and over. Clear cookies, see if helps

I haven't seen a single starlink add ever even with a few searches. I guess you did something for it.
