I just want to listen to music while working, but I’ve noticed that I keep seeing ads for “crisis pregnancy centers”.
I’m curious what in my browsing history suggests this. Usually I see ads for car & motorcycle dealers, since that’s the majority of the content that I watch outside of music. Plus there’s the whole being a dude thing that it apparently hasn’t figured out.
Any ideas on what videos I can watch to get it to understand that I am in fact not pregnant?

Religious ads have apparently been showing up on YouTube a lot recently. I know a lot of content creators have been trying to get them off their videos.

20 bucks says that “free appointment” directs you to a very biased doctor. I won’t was which way said doc will lead you because either is likely.

“Crisis pregnancy centers” try to look like about clinics and then talk women out of getting abortions.

I use uBlock and NoScript so that all I have is the absolute bare minimum to keep a website functioning properly for me, as an end user, to enjoy the content.
Most of the Youtube creators I watch don’t get enough cash from Youtube to justify running ads half of the time, but they run them anyways because it’s a few more cents. All of them run Patreons.

Could be specific kinds of munchies, tbh. Pregnancy, alien parasite, gluttony, may all be similar in ad profile.

Are those the ones where they stop you from aborting or the ones that get you to abort?

it’s hard to tell. could just be a keyword in a URL or page title you read, and whatever ad network they’re using found it. then their algorithms go to work.
and it can be the most opaque stuff too. I sometimes see similar things; I can read a news article about something LGBT related, and it won’t be long before I see ads for M4M dating sites and HIV prevention medications.
I mean, thanks, but no.

You’ve been secretly watching you tubers named Tanner, Chad, or Tyler. Go ahead and admit it. We won’t judge.
Okay, yes we will. We’ll point and laugh too. But it’ll be for your own good.

Knowing a couple friends who have adopted lately and how lucrative it has been for the birth mother, that can be an easy win-win.

I think the ads need to be more direct about the potential financial gain for selling your aborted dude-baby. Rather than saying “Don’t be scared, call us for help!” and then doing the whole bait-n-switch thing, just be upfront about it.

Yeah, I’m sure there’s some kind of slippery slope there about creating a market for “baby farms” (nothing in this world surprises me...). But yeah, if young or ill-equipped pregnant girls knew there were people lining up to pay for their medical bills and efforts, it might solve a lot of problems for people on all sides of the abortion issue.

CPCs are actually church run centers that pretend to offer help but then deliberately confuse the mother into keeping the child whether or not that is the most sensible decision. They do not offer abortions or any other sort of family planning services. They ue scare tactics and emotional manipulation to foist unwanted children upon women. Go to youtube and look up “john oliver crisis pregnancy centers”.

So mothers who don’t want to be mothers get paid to have babies for people, and yet we have almost half a million kids in foster care. Yeah, sounds like a great situation.

I didn’t want to get too personal, but we’re not a big fan of that route for that exact reason — there’s such a huge glut of kids in foster care, it’s hard to see someone pay so much (and often travel far) just for an infant. However, while not ideal, I still think it’s better than abortion.
We’re considering adoption down the road and will only look at in-state foster programs, preferably local.

Same thing happens in animal shelters. Everybody wants a puppy or kitten, nobody wants a full grown cat or dog.

I have no problem with anyone personally not agreeing with abortion, but I think that anyone who wants to restrict the reproductive rights of others should be forced to adopt 5 kids out of foster care.
I’ll obviously never be elected to public office.

The most effective way to prevent all these issues is to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Which is done by good honest education (never “sex is bad/dirty” or “abstinence only”) combined with good, safe and cheap availability of all kinds of preventatives like condoms and birth control pills. Including for teenagers. That’s the most effective way. You see it everywhere: when you take socio-economic factors into account the places that have most problems with unwanted pregnancy (and thus relatively high prevalence of abortion) are places that are socially conservative.

Agree on the education piece. As far as unwanted pregnancies, even in broad swaths of socially conservative or liberal places, I’ve seen the same trend — rural areas with nothing else to so. It sounds cliche, but it’s real and it’s unfortunate. While I don’t like the idea of abortion being the first line of defense (or second or third) for this, no child deserves to grow up in squalor because their parents made a dumb choice...I think the most socially progressive thing to do here is find better ways to encourage adoption (for example, tax incentives or whatever form of governmental social coercion works for one’s particular area).
Reducing the stigma of single/unwed moms helps a lot, too.
