They got me so wrong I almost want to leave my ad settings alone so their data mining yields incorrect results.

One of my categories is "Returned from travels 1 week ago." That's particularly creepy.

i turned all mine off just to eff with FB. apparently at some point I blocked ads related to Mike Pence. Solid choice. I’ve done this before and now it’s pretty basic. They just repopulate over time.

It doesn't know much about me other than I am friends with women who have birthdays and I have an affinity for African American people. This is me, plus I use apple shit.

Mine had me labeled as liberal, the correct career field, and parent of a toddler. And all the devices I use.

I can’t remember what mine said before I turned everything off a while ago, but I just looked and found this in the hide ads section. I thought it summed me up nicely.

I have no categories. Have I out-lamed the FB algorithms? Am I even a person?

I already had mine turned off. FB tried to exact revenge recently by showing me an ad that was a video of someone squeezing blackheads. GBCFB

I'm on FB fairly frequently but don't do much on public pages at all. All that FB has listed is "birthday in October" and then every type of device I've ever used to log in.
This explains why the ads I get are so weird and unrelated to anything I'd ever care about, I guess.
