I just bought a Ford Fusion Plug in hybrid. I've been researching charging stations. So now everywhere I go in the Internet, I see ads for charging stations.

I shopped for kitchen cabinets and now I see ads everywhere I browse for kitchen cabinets.

I don't see any ads on du because I have a donor star and can turn off ads. Other people can use Adblock. I really should install some ad software because some sites are unbearable without it.
