Maybe nobody who is an HN reader, but plenty of people are surprised that organizations like boogaloo actually exist. And by targeting ads, the people who are surprised are the people who never see the ads.

"organizations like boogaloo" from my general experience they're no more an "organization" than Antifa? Just like minded people, on the internet who latched onto a name.

They're much less of an organization than Antifa, who has city chapters, training sessions, meetings, and recruitment.
