For a long time now in the Tumblr app I only get shown two ads: one for Kindle Unlimited and the other for erectile dysfunction pills. It is getting extremely annoying.
At some point I have selected that Tumblr option that they shouldn't personalize my ads or collect ad profile data, and I'm seriously wondering whether this is an attrition campaign to make such users enable that again, just so that their stupid button where you can say that you get shown this ad too often can have an effect. (I have of course tried the thing anyway, before I remembered that I opted out of personalized ads.)
I mean, you'd think they then ought to just show random mix of ads based on location via IP or such, and that Tumblr has more than two ad customers, but what do I know. Maybe there really isn't anyone buying Tumblr ads anymore.
The pills one is especially baffling, because you aren't allowed to advertise prescription drugs here, and Tumblr knows my location, but I guess, since whatever dodgy reseller of fake knock-offs this is, carefully doesn't mention any brand names, but just shows and talks about "blue pills", that might be food colored chalk after all, and thus doesn't count.
