Default Annoying Temu ads

I realize that advertising is necessary on a free site. But the last week all I get is Temu ads. I have never, and will never order from them. I have closed the ads and asked Google to stop the Temu ads , but they are constantly on here, and only here.

Is there a way to get rid of them? Chrome on an IPhone.

Never mind. I switched to my DuckDuckGo browser. No more Temu.

we can't control the ads you see, that's based on your own web activity.

You can control the ads because you get money from ad serving services. Tell them to filter temu and do not allow it on any service you operate. Tell them if they can’t you will find another ad service….you cannot let ads alienate us the users…if we leave your ad rates go to zero. This is deadly serious. They are criminals not retailers!

News for you Chrome is google. It takes a lot of work to block Google from your life,computer and phone.

You will be shocked at what they collect about you a sell. And they never delete it.
Welcome to Google and Apples world.

The owners of this site will not turn down as revenue. And it not just this board management. This board is owned by a company that owns many websites. They also keep people signed up to boost numbers, which boosts ad revenue.

The old enthusiast boards, run by the enthusiast themselves, are either bought out or shut down because of expense and scammer bombardment.

We set the ad placements on our pages, the ads which you all see are determined by your own web activity. It's that simple.
