For some bizarre reason, the algorithm behind the adverts on Tinder has decided that what I need in my life is a 135 hp, 13 ton tractor.

I have absolutely no need for this, it would barely fit on my section, and I certainly don't need it for work.

This is the only advert I've seen for weeks on Tinder.

I don't have "buy a tractor for the shiggles" money, unfortunately.

Besides 135 horse power corrupts absolutely

They're trying to hint that if you had a better tractor, you'd be getting more action

Do it for the tractorussy 😫

There's a song called "She thinks my tractor's sexy". Their algorithm must believe you'd be more likely to get a date after buying the tractor.

Someone already linked me to that in a different community.

Looks nice, I guess. But I'm into older tractors with more experience in the field.

I'm tractorsexual myself

Why wouldn't you need a 13 ton, 135 horse power tractor??? Are you stupid???

[–] doingthestuff 5 points 1 year ago

That's a lot for an underpowered tractor. For $2550 a month you could be way more successful on Tinder though.

That thing looks like it has multi-axis bale positioning. You better get on that before you lose your chance.

I'm now getting adverts for children's clothing.

I got ads for South Asian wedding dresses. It knows my gender, nationality, ethnicity, and relationship status, and that none of those are a match for South Asian wedding dresses. They were pretty nice dresses tho ngl.

This is what 'I don't want personalised ads, don't use my data' should look like. I'd be happy to see a confused ad algorithm, it means it doesn't have a clue who I am.

I am erect.

I didn't even know tinder had ads .. althought I guess it make sense since it's free except from some stuff.
