Same here. If I'm watching a biography about Nathaniel Hawthorne, then why would I want to see an ad where someone is twerking their ass in my face?
A year or so I turned off targeted ads from Google. I very quickly noticed an increase in ads with anime tiddies.
I guess Google sees a correlation between people who worry about privacy, and people who are likely to click on anime tiddies...
