Who does YouTube think you are?

I was listening to U2 at work today (tedious task to do), on Youtube.
Naturally, Youtube puts on ads between tracks.

Anyone care to guess what kind of ads they chose for me, what U2 music inspired them to think I would like?

I got ads for... Genetic early female hairloss treatment. FFS. I have a fine mane of locks I'll have you know (splutter, bluster, splatter).

Oh, and ads for perfumes, cars & how to write good emails (hate perfume, don't need a car or help with emails).

Who do advertisers think you are? Any remote truth in it?

Oh geezer, I'd have to turn off my ad blocker and stop using incognito mode

I should explain that I have no saved cookies on work computer... I'm a brand new person to them everyday.

Clear blue pregnancy tests and credit cards are all YouTube has given me for about 3 months.. I feel it's judging me
