What is up with this creepy ad that keeps popping up on mobile GAF? I keep reporting it but it still shows up. I am too embarrassed to even post what it looks like because it is disturbing. It is a couple of barely dressed Asian anime girls and you are like touching them or something wtf. The quote in the title is exact verbiage from the ad.
 
Normally I get guff like "predict the markets with our new bullshit.io tracker" or other nonsense about the worlds most dangerous bridge, or that girl from Modern Family apparently being recast. Utter twaddle.
 
So OP. GAF will take this opportunity to make you into some sort of pervert but just remember that most all of your accusers are projecting.

The screwed up thing about ads is if you go to a word-press blog or something of that nature where smut ads might get pushed because the owners of those sites don't give a damn who sponsors them, just one of those pop-ups are enough to introduce that trash into your some ad identifier that'll follow you around. Its how ads are slowly destroying the internet experience.
 
My gross-ads solution is to browse GAF primarily on Dark Theme in iOS Safari. Ads only render like one day in ten over there!

NeoGAF has the shittiest tech and user experience of any website I regularly visit.
 
I have ad tracking disabled and I don't use my phone browser for porn, but every now and then an ad like that cycles through...

So it isn't based solely on your browser history, but it could be, lol. Sometimes they just target a demographic... Like are you a male between 18 and 35? Congrats, you get pervy ads.

Do people still not understand how ads work? Targeted ads aren't solely based on specific things you've browsed for. They create a profile of you and your demographic and serve ads that would be most interesting/relevant. So even if YOU don't specifically search these things, people similar to you might be
 
I constantly get ads that redirect me (this is on the mobile version) to some dodgy websites. And I can't report them because they've obviously changed when I get back. It's really annoying.

Is that a problem with the dark theme or something?

Because I barely get ads anymore (using Chrome) and I don't block ads on NeoGAf.
 
Is this the knockoff Miku + sex toys game?

As far as I know these games are never anything like their ads. I wonder if they actually retain anyone that they get through this sort of advertising.
 
I haven't seen this ad, but thanks to this thread I probably will now.

Edit: Fuuuuu
