Submarines?

[bunsen_h]

For the last few weeks, while I've been watching YouTube, I've been getting frequent ads for Canadian patrol submarines.  By "frequent", I mean two or three times an hour of watching/listening time.  At this point, I'm seeing nearly as many ads for submarines as for gambling apps.

This strikes me as bizarre.  I'm not interested in on-line gambling, but it's plausible that I could do it.  It's within my resources.  Whereas I could not possibly buy a patrol submarine, nor have I any conceivable use for one, nor do I have any influence on anyone else to buy one.  Either the company is flooding the Canadian market, within my broad demographic group, for some bizarre reason, or they somehow think that I'm within some kind of narrower group that would make it worth their advertising budget to try to influence.  I can't fathom either case, nor can I think of any alternative.

I use uBlock Origin. No more problems with ads of any kind on YouTube.

They're probably using geolocation - although people on the Prairies wouldn't have a place to store one (other than the West Edmonton Mall), they figure you're close enough to a Great Lake for convenient sub parking.
