My goodness, since I searched for titanium pots several weeks ago, Campmor ads for titanium cookware are popping up on pages all over the Internet.
This is the most blatant series of targeted ads I've seen. Has anyone else had similar experiences?
Are you new to the internet? Or just never noticed some of the other ads before? Yes, its funny how blatant they are sometimes.

Anything but new to the Internet, actually. But it's never been quite this blatant for me before.

You are nothing more than a source of demographic data to be mined by companies making a buck. Consider the rich data source that facebook and google present to advertisers, and you will begin to understand the degree to which you, and more importantly the next generation, have been conditioned to accept this as acceptable.
