For some bizarre reason, the algorithm behind the adverts on Tinder has decided that what I need in my life is a 135 hp, 13 ton tractor.

I have absolutely no need for this, it would barely fit on my section, and I certainly don't need it for work.

This is the only advert I've seen for weeks on Tinder.

I'm now getting adverts for children's clothing.

I got ads for South Asian wedding dresses. It knows my gender, nationality, ethnicity, and relationship status, and that none of those are a match for South Asian wedding dresses. They were pretty nice dresses tho ngl.

This is what 'I don't want personalised ads, don't use my data' should look like. I'd be happy to see a confused ad algorithm, it means it doesn't have a clue who I am.
