Ask HN: Is mental illness an ad-targeting category?
Hi HN, hope this topic is ok. I'm looking for commentary or advice from readers familiar with ad systems. A few years ago I got involved with the wrong wealthy, connected crowd and many weird/violent things happened. The story is strange, so people assume mental illness. I'm seeing a counselor, taking pills that don't seem to help except make me fat and sleepy, and doing my best to get back to dev work before my funds run out. I wanted to talk about my internet experience, though. I used to get ads for food, clothes, consumer tech. Now I get strange ads which are really not helping my situation. On Twitter, ad with only a few views about "losing a game, checkmate the cost is your soul". On IG, which I use to look at cat pictures and my friends, I get ads for Freemasonic end-of-life care, occult ritual materials, bizarre poetry sometimes containing my name&#x
