Moving this to US&R because it has no place in the tech areas.

I see no ads like this ever on this forum.

I've seen it show up at least three times now. I'll post a video of it next time so you can see it for yourself. I've only seen it happen on my desktop and maybe it's something Google is doing not really sure.

You’re not using any sort of pop up, etc. blocker? Thats like raw ******* a stripper while visiting a 3rd world country. You just know you’re going home with consolation prizes.

We do not specifically serve those ads. What you see is either ads based on your browser history and/or generic ads, in addition to the LS1Tech-sponsored ads (such as the ads in right rail).

Additionally, logged out (as you show to be in your screen capture) have always shown more ads than logged in users.

get my political news from Newsmax and nowhere else so not sure why this ad comes up when I logon onto LS1Tech. It certainly hasn't come up on anything else that I log onto. Guess I'll just keep closing it and moving on.

Thanks for the clarification..

What you didn’t donate to her to make it go away? That’s all you have to do.

I think we can lock this one down now but, FWIW, I've lately been getting constant text messages from this horrific woman's campaign asking for money. I've had this number for over a decade and never once contributed to anything relating to that party but, somehow, they've dug deep enough to find that this number was apparently once, 10+ years ago, attached to someone who was a supporter. Last act of desperation I guess.
