Why do we get BS Clickbait sponsored content??
I don't mind seeing car ads on a car site, but why the heck are we seeing this clickbait crap every time we log in? there is a reason I go here instead of national enquirer.com. I love this forum, and I can't remember complaining before, But I'm sure there are better advertisers out there than the stuff that has been up there recently.

Ads are not likely to please people, no matter what content, but ads can't be expected to be 100% specific to the content. The fact is, people do have other hobbies and interests. Ads will not be the same for every user. Ads can be served based on your location (IP address) as well as your browsing history. There is a lot involved in the ad business and how it works. But If you don't like the ads that you refer to as "click-bait", I would suggest to not click on them.
