The ads are a window into a blatantly illegal underground economy that Meta is not only failing to moderate, but is actively profiting from and injecting into users’ feeds.

I went on Edge, logged into Facebook, then proceeded to google various horse related things and visit the resulting websits. Now my ads are all about horses. I don't own a horse, never been especially into them. But they're nice and inoffensive in my feed.

Have you tried ublock origin?
Using umatrix. Difficulty is these are the ads presented as part of the feed so they're difficult to block. Like the promoted posts on reddit.
Dang I need some of those mushrooms and ketamine microdosing.
Mushroom spores are legal. The ketamine shit might, in some cases, be legit but won't be covered by insurance.
Yeah I've looked into the ketamine treatments. $2800

It's not a honeypot. It's a genuine company. I am not sure if what they do is actually helping anyone but to my knowledge the treatments are pretty expensive.
Yeah I get a lot of those as well. Anxiety, ADHD, and autism stuff mostly. I keep shooting down the ads as I suffer from none of these things. No idea why it keeps pushing that crap.
