I receive mostly ads about crypto, which I am not interested in at all. I always downvote them, and when I view the category to opt out of it, I see completely unrelated category titles.
For instance, you would expect to see crypto categorized as “personal finance,” but my history shows crypto ads in categories such as:
General
Science
Food & Drink
Technology & Computing (this is closer, but still a stretch)
Furthermore, when I opt out of a category, I receive the message that I will “no longer receive ads from this category,” but I still do.
In my picture, you can see that I am opted out of personal finance as of July 2, yet I continue to receive ads in this category:
I would be willing to complete a survey to call-out my interests, and have done multiple survey monkey surveys that I assumed would do just that, but I still receive crypto ads 10:1 over any other ad.
Update:
I just received my first “Defi” category ad this morning, and opted out. the second ad I received after opting out was “Defi” again.
See how I gave thumbs-down on Amber Group and also “blocked” the “crypto curious” category? A few minutes later, I received another ad from Amber Group, in the supposedly blocked category.
As you can also see, I received another ad in the blocked category this morning.
Unfortunately, the issue is recurring again.
Every ad I get is about crypto, and they are all over the place with the category.
when I open my rewards settings, the ads from the past 30 days are already reviewed with thumbs-down, telling me the system knows I don’t want these ads, but I get them anyway.
