      The ad on top is selected from a pool of ads from companies that paid for their placement up there. If you run the search again, it will probably show an ad for Snapchat or Instagram or something.

        Yeah I understand why it’s there, and that you will see different ones. Just posting here because its target demographics are likely comically different from those that are interested in Pixelfed.

            Ha probably not, but you never know. I bet they can determine my ideologies from the publications I’ve blocked on Apple News +, but who knows what they use to build up a profile.
