    The algorithm really doesn’t work when you are critical or sceptical over a subject. For instance crypto sceptics from r/buttcoin being shown binance ads. Yes, they do show an interest in crypto, but may be the least suceptible persons to that ad.

      It’s different with subs focused on addiction & recovery though.

      Maybe it’s a very bad idea to targeted knife ads in a suicide watch sub, you know? Susceptible people and all.

        I completely agree with you, and your example is very good indeed. (Maybe my previous comment was not clear ? English is not my mothertongue)

          Nope nope sorry sorry! I just woke up and misread your comment as disagreeing with the sentiment, but I just reread it and realize that you were in agreement. I was just trying to explain my view further.

          Sorry!! Lol I’ll try to post less when I’m still tired!!
