I agree with the author and wish I could see less ads for bras. I am a male and mostly follow makers and woodworkers, yet I see a ton of ads for bras. My wife doesn't send me too many links to bra companies either.

I deleted my Facebook 2 years ago, and my Instagram is only about 6 months old. I used the same email address in both accounts.

Same here. It's all bras and "slimming clothing" ads. I'm neither a woman nor am I obese. I've repeatedly clicked on the "this ad is not relevant" buttons but they just bombard me with more.

I haven't checked instagram in months as a result.

Do you have kids? When ours arrived and I started searching for baby and kid related items The Algorithms decided that I must be a woman.

I do. Good point, the algorithms are as biased as societal norms from the 1950s.
