Clickbait advertising on the forum

[D1511]

I'm disappointed that question wasn't answered.....

Anyone else getting bombarded with images of women's buttocks at the moment?
Fälke underwear, apparently. Not visually unpleasant at all, but mildly unsettling.....especially when the image zooms in and out again!

Nope. Not yet at least.

 

[D1511]

Nope. Not yet at least.

Oh well.
Fingers crossed for you

Happily. From a legitimate clothing supplier called Falke

I only view the Forum via my laptop and don't get any ads other than a 'banner' one near the top of the page, often from TEMU or the like.
Are these ads only visible on smartphones, or do my browser settings somehow exclude them?

 

[D1511]

It's when I view the forum on my phone.

I wasn't sure if this one was an advert for underwear or for bicycle parking!

Mild porn as I call those adverts from that clothing retailer.

If you consider female buttocks to be pornographic I wonder how you handle going to the swimming pool or the beach!

If they went to a Harry Styles concert they'd be writing to Mary Whitehouse!

The ads do tend to be linked to your previous history .
On Chrome (PC) I have an ad for a fragrance store at the top (I recently bought some new aftershave) and Adobe at the bottom.

Having recently searched for merino boxer shorts, that might explain the Fälke ads, but I haven't prompted ads for package holidays, houses for sale or AI enhanced Korean brides! So some of them must be randomly generated!

Lots of discussion on adblockers here. Thought it might be apt to note that a very popular Youtube adblocker for Chrome was recently exposed to have had a critical vulnerability that allowed the developer to inject into the console and access passwords, bank account details etc. https://thehackernews.com/2026/06/chrome-ad-blocker-with-10m-installs.html Some members might even have it installed.

These have become very popular especially with Youtube's aggressive adverts in recent years.

Well, yes - but not on this site. It's the lady next door: she's been bent over gardening but her jeans need a belt...

Oh dear! That must be enough to drive you indoors! Time to grow a taller hedge!

I keep getting the Falke ladies bottoms ads but it's difficult to tell which are the ones forum members are putting on and which are from the company. I don't think the clothing they are advertising is for me!

How can I get those pictures? In fact I've trained myself to competely ignore the ads (it's not hard for me to do that). I have been told that its not the done thing on here to use an ad blocker, so I have installed one in my head, more or less. Is someone now going to tell me that's not playing the game?

I have got a paid Malwarebytes subscription, which includes something called Browser Guard, and I hope it would protect me against malicious extensions.

The ladies in the adverts look so perfect that I think they may be computer generated.

The more the name gets mentioned in posts, the more likely ads will be served depending on how the advertiser has set their criteria for choosing sites.

A potentially underage, certainly fairly young girl... Not a good look for a family friendly forum...

I used to get those on Bristol Live.

In the 1890s responders to 'Send 6d in stamps for a sturdy metal coat hanger and guaranteed light-first-time cigarette lighter' got a nail and a match.

Why do you think I never mention the actual name of that particular clothing retailer whom I will likely never use

@52290 can you see any genuine females wanting to wear some of those outfits (such as what was posted on post 95) rather than the swimsuit based examples

Not a TV advert, but an advert which pops up on this forum from what appears to be a clothing retailer with rear end views of ladies with the item of clothing barely covering their rear ends.

There was me thinking porn sites needed age verification

Which site is it advertising? (asking for a friend)

Hardly porn, and certainly doesn't warrant age verification.
