....to wonder whether in-thread ads on MN are targetted by user.

Every MN page is interspersed with ads disguised as threads, which are flagged as 'Promoted'.

I get eight or nine per page, and almost all of them are offering me ways to get my kids to save up money. I mean, every page, every time, for weeks now.

Does everyone else get those, and at that kind of frequency, or have I done something to suggest to the ad-algorithm that my children are going to need something put aside for a pretty imminent rainy day?

I find they ignoring...one was asking why you not a member of the national trust...I went on to give an opinion and found it an ad. Puts me off using mumsnet which isn't a bad thing.

Yes and they’re extremely tedious. Especially when they’re so similar. My children are long past the stage of saving their pocket money.

I presume so. I haven't seen any pocket money ones but have loads about being a National Trust member, what I missed at the Boots Toddler event, etc.

They are so dull and repetitive, and filling in the 'don't show me this any more' info is a waste of time as it makes no difference.

Do the advertisers/Mumsnet not realise that they send people in the opposite direction? I'll certainly NEVER darken the door of a Bill's again, I'm sick of the sight of the name.😆

I get the save money ones too.

It's all National Trust ads today. It was getting your kids to save for most of last week. I'm also getting "How much to adopt a dog", and "Get AIBU on Whatsapp" a lot.

The one offering to make ironing blissful makes me want to delete my account.

FUCK.
OFF.
