Fair enough. It seems they were targeting something else.

Did they start from China, or from a boat in international water that could be close to US borders?

People have no idea what ad tracking means. lol

To be comfortable, and feel that VR looks real you need actual measurement, and then people think that if you are 5ft you will get an ad for a pasta maker, and if you are 6ft you will get an ad for a vacuum cleaner.

So much lack of critical thinking. Reddit is not better than other social networks (audience think they are somehow smarter).

And yes, you are right, there is no private information as targeting for an ad. Overall, it is pretty generic and based on interests, locations, people with similar behaviors.
