Yeah, I'm getting VA home loan ads. Not looking to move or refi, definitely no veterans in my household. My latest searches were homeschool related.
Maybe a high number of veterans homeschool? I can't figure some of these.
I'd venture that many who do searches for pro lds related topics are targeted by anti Mormon sites though.

The ads are tied to your browsing history but they aren't pinpoint accurate. It's not unusual to get anti-Mormon ads on a pro-LDS site. The computer just sees "Mormon" and pulls up anything Mormon. The site owner has nothing to do with what individual ads show and it is different for each user.

It might be of interest to some of you but it's not just online activity that shapes your ad viewing. Yesterday I went to a car sales lot. My phone picked up where I was at and asked me if I wanted to post pictures. Next thing I know, car ads were showing online. Yeah, that's a touch disconcerting....
