Yes.

However, you'll still be in the 80th+ percentile of credit scores. Additionally, the number of applications you've made contribute only around 10% to your credit score.

If there's only space for one ad, do they show you an ad for tools, exterior mechanic, engine mechanic, or a new car ad? All are valid options for both you and the advertiser.

This is where invasively tracking your online behavior can help you.
