That just strikes me as strange, especially on here. I guess it's a Google thing.

Most people know that ads are served by a third party server. NOT chosen by DU people.

The administrators do not choose the ads. If you find one objectionable, you have to tell them about it. They can then delete it.
But the ads vanish with a star membership! Plus there are other benefits.

to serve ads an algorithm thinks might interest you.

"Ad" is an abbreviation of "advertisement", both with one 'd'. "Add" is not correct in this context.
The advertiser chooses which keywords the ad will be connected with for presentation. The ad purchaser must have chosen neutral keywords or even chose Democratic keywords just to annoy Democrats.
