So this might be a stupid question, but I just built a new computer and so far I've only used it for a little bit of gaming and some web browsing. I just finished watching a video on youtube though and an advert for grindr played at the end. Now I am gay, so it's an appropriately targeted ad, but how the hell does google know that? The only services I've logged onto on this computer are my squeaky clean work email and steam.

Did I just answer my own question? It's the work email isn't it, google has my sexuality listed against my name and targets ads based off of that. That's kinda fucked up.

You fucked up, but your company fucked up too.
you can't hide from google anon, they know you better than your right hand knows your dick

Best part about this is that Google collects all your 4chan posts and the posts you look at as well. Surprised no one is bitching about this site using google analytics, but that's neo-/g/ for you I guess
