I wonder whether it's intentional that Google now only shows me gross prostitution adjacent ads about "meeting women" in Gmail, because I keep my preferences to not wanting personalized ads from it. It feels somehow vindictive anyway. Also getting the gross ads persistently is probably a good way to get people to accept the creepy ads instead.

I have the same preferences set and I mostly get business software!

It still seems to use location because I get German language ads, so maybe that makes a difference.

ETA: Though just now it switched from a German one for women to an English "single chat" one. I would be less annoyed if they were still text only, but in the Android app I get pictures now too.
