Hey, peeps who know more about technical internet dohickeys than me,
I'm starting to get pretty frigging sick of these weight-loss ads on LJ. They're everywhere, despite the fact that nothing on my ad customisation page even remotely relates what they're selling in any way. What's the go with these ad blocker aps and are there any that are good for Internet Explorer?
ETA: You know what? Fuck you, LJ. I'm a girl, and young, so obviously I must be completely insecure with my body, stupid, and desperate, and thus deeply interested in weight loss ads. Fuck. You. Never mind that I kindly did tick several boxes about the types of ads I would NOT object to seeing back when I first joined, and none of them have anything to do with health or even fashion or anything else that can be tangentially related to body image. I was annoyed enough when it was just unappealing photos showing up over and over again.* FUCK. YOU.
*When I first saw the ads, I actually thought, oh cool, they didn't photoshop her stretchmarks or anything, which I still like, but I just don't want to see dank photos of mid drifts or people in undies all the damn time, okay?
ETA 2: Just tried switching my gender setting from female to unspecified, and they're still there. So, LJ, I retract my feminist rage a little, I guess, but not my fuck you.
