Had anyone else noticed a sharp uptick in military recruitment ads as of the past few days?

You forgot to look at the calendar, 9/11 is in the upcoming week.

Yes, but depending on their timezone it could have still been 9/10 for them

Oh, that explains it! Thank you!

Nope; I don't use technology that I can't put an ad blocker on.

Normally I do too, unfortunately I've been forced to use some miserable smart tv as of late.

AdAway may work on many android-type devices, worth looking into for a smart tv.

There were these series of animated U.S. military ads that were so bad they were laughed at, especially by people in U.S. rival countries, as I saw for instance on Bilibili.

No, thankfully, they tend to make my nostrils flare. We talking TV or phone?

YouTube application on a Vizio smart tv.

Luckily not, I haven’t seen a military ad suggested to me in a few years, plenty of them on Cable TV tho, can’t speak for whether it’s more or less than before, I don’t watch much Cable
