i don't understand

[frose]

I see that there are not supposed to be any political references in this venue. Why do I see political ads on this site all the time. Sure looks like a double standard. As long as you pay it's ok, what a bunch of BS!!!!!!

[Bogie Shooter]

He/she that has the ball & bat gets to choose how the game is played. Not really BS!

I see no political ads or any ads my adblocker is working.

The political ads have nothing directly to do with this forum. They are generated just like the ads you see on Google or Facebook. You obviously look and read political stuff elsewhere so that's what you are targeted to see. When I looked up "best running shoes" most all I see are ads for running shoes. Your web surfing is being tracked by every site you visit so you get ads of "things you are looking for." I do not use an ad blocker and I have NEVER seen a political ad here. I see lots of golf cart ads and restaurant ads though.

If you are talking about POLITICAL POSTS BY USERS that is totally different. You might consider using an ad blocker but that also has some downsides.

You also might make your topic titles a little clearer. "I DON"T UNDERSTAND" can have many meanings.

it was supposed have many meanings.. biden and trump ads are all here, does not matter where you go.. like everything else in here it's all about the chosen few..

There s business trying to make money , if you want to run for office or have a business pay them . Ads don’t bother me I look at them or don’t either way why they bother people so much I can’t figure out

Your cryptic response aside, if they. are ADS, they are most likely due to the cookies left on your computer form articles or links YOU have visited...

Right now, I'm seeing an ad from a T-Shirt company I visited over the weekend...

You seem angry……..

[NoMo50]

I have never seen a political ad on TOTV. As mentioned previously, the ads YOU see are driven by your browsing history, and cookies. An educated guess...you probably see the same types of ads across all of your devices that hit the internet. So the question is, why is TOTV evil?

[frose]

i only see them here.. not the point..why are they allowed to show up on this site when political posts are not allowed.. money talks, bs walks

It amazes me how many people, in this day, do not understand they are being constantly tracked and that tracking affects everything they see on the internet and the spam calls and messages they get on their phones.

You see them because you are being tracked. You see them here because no doubt this site uses an ad source for revenue. If so they have little control over what ads you see, the service places the ads based on your browsing history.

And the site "bans" political posts, not political ads.

If the 3 identical explanations so far haven't been understood I would suggest Googling "what is targeted advertising" should be the first place to start.

Try this one to start off: What Is Targeted Advertising? | AdRoll Blog (https://www.adroll.com/blog/marketing/what-is-targeted-advertising)

I don’t get political ads but I get ads for things I look up on the internet.

[Kelevision]

Obvious reason aside as that has been posted several times. My question is what kind of ‘ADS’ are Trump and Biden putting out? Ads for what??? There’s nothing to advertise?

[DaleDivine]

Same here. I've never seen a political ad on ToTV...

[Luggage]

The solution is to stop using Bing or Google or Yahoo as your search engine and switch over to a search engine that does not allow tracking.

[frose]

What it actually says is no political references an ad is a reference. I don’t care how they get on the site they should be banned and penalized

THEY AREN’T ON THIS SITE!! They’re on YOUR computer only. Because YOU search about Politics often. Nobody else is seeing political ads. My ads are about bikes or skincare because that’s what I search the most currently. I have NEVER not once seen a political ad here NEVER NEVER EVER you clearly don’t understand….. how computers work.

He's read this explanation many times by now, but still persists in blaming TOTV. I think we should stop trying to enlighten him, it seems he just likes to be angry at "them"! :ohdear:

That is not a solution, it is only one place. The sites you visit when using duckduckgo all track you also. It could help, but it is not a solution.

This seems to be a difficult problem for some to understand.

This is a private business, they can run it how they want and ban what they want. If you are unhappy you are seeing political ads that no one else is seeing, well, don't use this site.

Problem solved.

"Talk" of The Villages is a misnomer. It is like the Daily Sun "Newspaper". Lame at best!

[JMintzer]

I'm now getting ads for "Porn Sites"... Anyone know why?

Wait, what? Oh, never mind... Er, I was asking for a friend...

As an example, I used a phone GPS to get to a local store by golf cart. Never went to the store, wanted to go to a nearby store I couldn't remember.

That evening, my computer had ads for the store I never went to.

I've never had political ads on TOTV, and I don't have an ad-blocker.

Political surveys. Should he resign, should he run again. Opinion polling. But don’t post anything about disrespect you get crushed

No problem solved when your first amendment rights are violated but the reason continues to be a violation of these “rules “
