    Or it’s just an automated ad pulling a random product onto some one’s feed based on viewing history. Which then got passed around which caused the algorithm to start spreading the ad

      I suppose if your viewing history includes bulk orders of veterinary supplies, this is probably a decently targeted ad.

        Shit, I’m glad I don’t see ads (if you take injected medications it’s a lot easier to just buy syringes in bulk from veterinary suppliers)

        It’s Ali Express, they could have viewed anything vent related and it pulled an item with the same tag. I viewed a customized tshirt with a funny saying and the name KIM on it (I’m not Kim nor do I have any one close named Kim)

        I now get a million ads for stupid customized everything with KIM as the customizable name, just because I viewed one item to read what the joke on the shirt said
