> At one point I had the misfortune to be the target audience for a particular stomach churning ear wax removal add.
So isn’t it possible that your friend had the same misfortune? I assume you were similar ages, same gender, same rough geolocation, likely similar interests. It wouldn’t be surprising that you’d both see the same targeted ad campaign.
Nope. Gender/age and interests were different. Also - who has an interest in ear wax removal?
The only reason I was served the ad was because I had an ear infection months before.
Plus this was during covid. So this was the smallest group size permissible and no one else around for miles.
