not entirely sure why the ad algorithm is this convinced that I am in the UK and dying

three separate ads for some company that presumably will write a will for you, same as that "WARNING TO SENIORS WITH NO WILL" ad before. they're all right next to each other, on the same page.

i saw this thumbnail and i thought "bro is not gonna make a whole video essay about how logarithms exist right" but that's what he did (well, at least a minute of it. i am not watching the rest)

some youtubers "HOW YOUR TECH KEEPS LYING TO YOU" video, thumbnail has an arrow that points to volume slider on a phone with text saying "THIS IS A LIE"
