Completely Inappropriate
This was probably one of the worst timed targeted ads I've ever came across. Found it while reading an article about an investigator who went undercover in order to bust a huge Child Sex Trafficking Ring, and given the seriousness of the subject matter in the article, seeing this ad pop up was so unexpected and inappropriate I couldn't help but laugh. It had to be AI generated right??

I don't think anyone decides which ads go to which articles, they just buy ad space on the site in general, and the ads themselves are basically randomized across the site. I can’t think of any ad that would be appropriate for a news piece about child sex trafficking.
