Putting in my year of birth to 1911 (but the same month/day so half friends don't send me wishes on the wrong day) used to mostly destroy their targeted advertising. It was all adverts for arthritis medication. They're steadily figuring it out, but it's taken them about 10 years.


I'm also enjoying completely meaningless ads as I lie to them about my gender.
