Thank you for pointing out that ads keep the lights on. I run adblock on my chrome browser and don't ever see the ads. It's good to be reminded that I should allow them on the sites I wish to support.
I turned off my adblock to see what ads would appear, as I just reviewed my google privacy settings this morning. My google account presented me with the option to opt out of personalized ads from AdChoices as well. I elected to opt out of all targeted advertising based on my search history and perceived interests.
After unblocking and refreshing my screen, I do see a number of scantily clad women. I assume these pulchritudinous young ladies are shown by the advertising consortium in hopes that lonely fishermen will click through to see more scantily clad beauties. If that's your thing, I understand there are a number of sites with women wearing significantly less than I see here.
All the other ads shown to me appear to be fishing gear related, but there are 3 large banner ads that I would close quickly if my wife walked by.
I suspect that BFT doesn't have a lot of input into which ads are shown. The AdChoice vendor buys space on the site and puts up what their algorithms predict will draw the most clicks.
If your privacy settings allow for targeted ads, you would probably see ads of more relevance to you.
