Why is there a Hyundai advertisement in a forum for Toyota and Subaru?

I am somewhat disgusted and surprised that there is an advertisement on "this" website for the Hyundai Genesis. I may be new here, but, shouldn't there be someone deciding that this is inappropriate?

Those ads, if I'm not mistaken, are based on cookies gathered by your browsing history.

So, it's there because you either searched for it a while ago multiple times, or it pertains to what you like to search for.

For example, I always look for photography stuff, and those are the only ads I see nowadays.

We don't even do google ads though do we? I can't recall seeing any. Maybe I've trained my brain to ignore them though :P

So let me get this straight, you are disgusted by car ads on a car forum?

Please don't ever venture onto the internet again good sir, the horrors are greater than you could possibly imagine.
