Everything that's sent from your PC across the intarweb. So yeah, you're going to get adverts for advice on cotdeath, kittens, kill it, and how to milk animals.

Hurray!
To be honest I haven't paid attention to an internet advert for quite a long time.

Well...
It's getting a bit more complicated now.
Started off it was banners - we blocked them.
Then flash - and now we have adblockers for that.
Then embedded content in pages - we can block some of that, but not all.
And now it's embedded ads on streaming content - we can't block that.
We'll get content with ads in it, or no content at all. And with things like Google and Phorm we'll get tarteted ads forced down our necks. If you're struggling with your mortgage payments, you'll get bombarded with ocean finance etc everywhere you look.

As with most of these things,
the ideal answer would be for everyone just to not click on the buggers.
If they stop getting revenue from it, they won't bother spending money on it.

Yeah, but next time you're in the supermarket, or buying a car, or spending money at all, the decisions you make are in some way influenced by the adverts you've seen.
This is getting a bit deep for b3ta :P
