    Wasn't neopets a website mainly for kids?



    I mean... Really? What's next? Quadrapus porn?

    I know it isn't TNT who controls the ads, but I'm sure they could have added some simple conditions

    Ads are based off your own browsing history

    But actually Neo was originally created for college students.

    TNT is able to block it, I believe, if you report a sketchy or bad advertisement to them, but beyond that, they can't control it.

    Annnnnnd like @(you need an account to see links) said, 99% of the time it's based on browsing history lol
    They advertise what they think will getcha to click click click
    Not sure if that's absolutely true for Neo, too, but on most sites it is

    Possible, but that shouldn't be the reason in this case. I had cleaned my browser history pretty recently (that's why I was logged out)

    Yahoo reminds me of yodelling, which grinds my gears because I lived near the Alps when I was a kid and my neighbour did that almost every morning

    So no, please don't say that word

    I have been getting links to local unions and activist groups on the tablet my sister uses. That, and car sales.

    I always get those typical adds of 'Dermatists hate her! Click here to know why' and stuff, yet I don't really search beauty related stuff haha
    Anyway, neopets is mostly used by teens and 20+ people now a days, not many kids anymore
