But to answer your question, no, I haven't been getting things like that.  I do get little side ads that pop up, when I'm looking at my emails or other websites.  But those are just the usual pop-up ads from tracking cookies.  I ignore them.

Re: Anybody else seeing stuff

I've recently started seeing these too on pages here (not emails or pop-ups) and nothing I've even thought about looking at.

 

Especially some really expensive video game machines about dragons....

 

I'm 67 and the last time I played any kind of video game was Pac-Mac and Ms. Pac-Man, when they had the consoles in bars and clubs, a very, very long time ago.

Sadly, they seem to have a number of issues with their web site these days.  Just this morning, I clicked on "Items Recently On Air" around 10AM.  It showed a Halo cordless charger as the item "On Air".  When I turned on the TV, it was SG's show.  She was not selling a Halo item!

Yes, I have had that experience.  It's just trolling for shoppers.  Times are tough for retailers.  Another trick is the email that says  "you left something you love in your shopping cart".  So, I check out my cart on that retailer's sight and NOTHING is in my cart.  It's a trick to get shoppers to visit their website and hopefully browse around and buy something.

That's odd. The things I see on mine, I have looked at.

Yes, they are items I've never seen in my life and totally out of my interest areas.

Yes, it's been that way for at least a week now, probably longer.  I don't understand it.  It's showing things I'm not remotely interested in.

I haven't looked lately, as I don't shop here that much anymore but I did see just that on Amazon!   I couldn't figure out why they thought I viewed those items or are they just phishing me - or has my account been hacked?  Smiley Surprised

ME Too.  Perhaps they are desperate hoping we are losing our minds and will buy ANYTHING at any price.  I have noticed higher price points for everything.  Competition from others must be brutal.
