What ads are you seeing in your social feed right now?

by•

Here's what's currently appearing in my ads feed: - AI-driven travel hack app for eSIM - The Agency Growth Toolkit (not sure why they're targeting me either) - Personal writing assistant - Transform your portrait into a professional business portrait using AI - Photo editor with background removal feature powered by AI - MBA course tailored for marketers - 'I Hate Running' app (clever naming, indeed) Your turn! Feel free to share what's showing up in your ads feed in the comments below. Let's compare notes! 😄📊

Good question. I usually see dresses or something fashion related and quite expensive apartments, which is the most common content that follows me everywhere :)
Niko Germish
@nastassia_k How should you be for ad feed algorithms to decide to regularly show you ads for expensive apartments? )))
Nastassia
@nikogermish I keep track of flat prices in my building and nearby, and there are quite a few fancy neighbourhoods in the area that spoil my feed 🙈😄 well at least they are beautiful, so I don’t mind

Hi Niko! The ads stuff in my social feed so various. From luxury apartments in Dubai to courses for QA engineers🙂
Niko Germish
@alexanderptitsyn What are the prices for apartments in Dubai right now? 😄
Nastassia
@alexanderptitsyn haha one more person with luxury apartments :)

This is a great question. If I hadn't given my phone to children, then perhaps the ads would have been more relevant.

@mksaint13 The same story but with YouTube recommendations after my daughters used my account

Basically only marketing agencies...
Niko Germish
@mattcaine Feel free to share if you come across any intriguing ads from agencies specializing in YouTubers )

@nikogermish sure, why not, but i never saw something like that... for some reason i see only a typical marketing agencies for businesses...sometimes AIs... I have to say it's a peaceful life that after all those years i finally see only relevant ads

Hi @nikogermish ! Due to my use of ad blockers, I constantly see the most generic ads targeted at just about anyone online. :)

Mostly e-commerce!!
Niko Germish
@tanya_p I've never seen e- commerce ads in my feed, even though i'm a bit of a shopaholic …

AI, AI and AI. A few marketing agencies. I'm obsessed with teaching my algorithm/devices: every time I see an ad that I don't find useful, I try not to look at it (camera) and scroll past asap 😆
Niko Germish
@juliasuontama Sometimes it makes me wonder too why targeting chose me with certain ads. What did I do wrong before? 😅

zero I have 16 different Adblocks. Add a new one every time an add gets through. My cpu consumption from add blockers use more energy than my washing machine tho 😂
Niko Germish
@sentry_co Every time I think about using an adblocker, I start feeling a bit of guilt. Brands are trying to convey something, marketers are working hard, and I somehow manage to nullify their efforts. 🥹

@nikogermish You shouldn't. We vote with our action in this world. So instead follow brands you align with on IG or linkedIn. The problem is when we are brainwashed with stuff we don't align with. We become consumer zombies. IMO

I see advertising for example memes and it’s balanced
Niko Germish
@ixord Who spends their budget on advertising... memes? ))

Ads are personalized. But despite everything, you should always think and plan your ads. If anyone is looking for such information, I recommend this post: https://gamerseo.com/blog/google...
