I recall clicking a Duluth Trading link from a thread not so unlike this on HN years ago and then being followed by ads for their jeans across the internet for at least a year. Of course, I remember that just after clicking your link.

Probably google ads. You can click the little x in the corner and make that particular ad go away.

Lucky you people: I've been followed around the web for over ten years with Google ads for scammy dating sites (since Zoosk if anyone can remember that).

When I click the x I only get another scammy dating site.

And unlike GP I cannot remember visiting one in the first place :-/

Can't you change your google ad preferences?

Doesn't help it seems. I've tried at least twice.
