I recently got a fresh Hulu acct and it’s funny watching them try to figure out what I “am” while they just cycle through the dating app ads.

One commercial will be a christian dating app, the next will be a black dating app, the next will be a latino dating app, the next a farmers dating app. It’s hilarious and I’m not exaggerating at all. I’m sure if I started interacting with anything they’d start narrowing my demographics down but for now the algorithm seems to be trying a shotgun approach and it’s a little bit amusing.
