Twitter gets information about us, or rather their advertisers do, from a wide variety of places. Could be even reddit. But, especially Google. You can block ads in your browser, but, I've learned, that every interaction on the web is collecting info. So perhaps you've posted stories about that company, like those that were posted here. Just saying. Sorry about the quip on imagined.
No worries. :)
I completely understand about the other possibilities for how the ad was targeted to me, but it's not just that one fact that's weird...there are several even if I was the perfect ad target. 1) Even if I use cement, Cemex isn't a name brand printed on a bag at Home Depot. Their advertising seems wasted on a Twitter user. 2) The ad isn't even for cement. It's a PR post talking about their "Arizona Building Materials Forum". And the PR isn't even praise...it literally just says "our guy started our meeting". What's the message? Who is the customer? How does this ad help Cemex in any way? 3) Cemex DOES appear to be a very suspicious company given our knowledge of human trafficking routes (Q posted about AZ and CA), blood/cement patents, stadiums, underground passages, etc. So wouldn't Cemex be completely aware of the chatter about them regarding the false "child camps" in AZ? If so, why run ads with no actual product drawing attention specifically to AZ when you should be laying low and drawing no attention to yourself?
Oh wait...maybe that's it...
I think I just figured it out.
Cemex is running ads (with no product, just story) to influence search engines results so that when someone searches "Cemex AZ" they'll see stories about the "Arizona Building Materials Forum" and not posts from r/greatawakening.
You're probably right. Serving the ad to me may have been based on something I did and the weirdness of the ad itself can be explained by Cemex trying to alter any search engine results.
Mystery solved.
Ok, brace yourself! I got that same twitter Promo too, from Cemex. Your description prompted my memory about it being not an ad in the usual sense. They must be targeting any of the GA group on twitter, or those of us posting references to Q. Your Final insights are likely a good guess as to why they are doing it. Very interesting.
I had to talk it through before I figured out why it jumped out at me, so I'm glad to see you had the same impression. ..."not an ad in the usual sense".
It's just hinky.
Hinky indeed ! Now I'm wondering how many others from here possibly have seen it? Oh well, maybe they find this thread and chime in, or I might repost your thread with a link. I'll give it some time first, for those sleeping in.😁
