Are these DuckDuckGo ad banners especially made for 4chan? I have seen that squirrel typing at least these:

>naruto
>clop-clop
>traps
>reddit

I kinda understand those first three, but what about Reddit? Is this some kind of joke or what?

(I'm not mad, just curious)
>>
>I kinda understand those first three, but what about Reddit?
It's the exact same thing as the first three - a really divisive topic
>>
You missed "full blown herpes" and "dragon dildos".

Also funny how both the image and link urls are long random strings. That sure screams "not tracked".

(in my case it's http://engine.4chan-ads.org/r?e=eyJhdiI6Mjc0MTksImF0Ijo [...] rcD0tMSJ9&s=d1Nnjz7v1 [...] gOYePoS0 ).
>>
I just saw these. I got a kick out of the traps and reddit ones.
>>
>>638879 (OP)
I guess it just scours the front page(s) for known topics or search phrases. Not much different to Google Analytics in that sense, except its probably not client-side.

Don't forget Dragon Dildos

Just block adds. I was going to unblock adds but then this /mlp/ bullshit happens so fuck moot. He can go suck dick for money if he's so desperate. I already bought his goddamn Pass so I don't have to deal with the captcha he said he would never implement in the first place.

I never block 4chan ads, and goddamn am I ever glad. This is the most hilarious shit I've seen in a while.
>>
>>638967

Yeah, some of these are pretty funny, and looks like they are made especially for 4chan. But I don't really understand this Reddit joke, or is it really so sensitive subject as dragon dildos or clop clop? And I don't think Naruto is bad at all, or is that just a reference to /a/ and /jp/?

>>638963

I don't block these because they don't really bother me, and I like to support 4chan. I don't really care if moot gets some extra shekels with these ads.
>>
>>638983
I'm completely talking out of my ass here but I think it selects random popular words/ phrases then displays it in the ad.
>>
You guys don't seem to understand the joke. Those search phrases are meant to be embarrassing like rebbit and naruto. They want you to use DuckDuckGo so that nobody knows you are searching for those terms.
>>
>>638983
Yes, reddit is definitely as sensitive as a subject as those other boards, on boards like /v/ and /pol/ it's common to tell people to fuck off back to reddit.
>>
>>638983
The people who made the banners are poking fun at the idea that one would be as embarrassed about having searched for Reddit as they would about having searched for dragon dildos or pony porn.
>>
the ad is a gross violation of 4chan rule #11.
>READ THE DAMN RULES
yeah. read the damn rules.

Why would anyone feel embarrassed about dragon dildos or traps.
>>
>>639111
I'm not following.
>>
>>639115
it's cross-site advertisement,
advertisement in clear violation of rule #11
>11.Advertising (all forms) is also not welcome - this includes any type of referral linking, "offers", soliciting, begging, stream threads, etc.
>>
>>639117
Those are rules for users.
Last I checked 4chan.org is the site itself
>>
>>639117
Then so is every ad?
If moot allows it, it breaks no rules. That's the way things work here.
>>
>>639124
>>639123
the ads run in the past never directed traffic from 4chan to other imageboard/discussion sites. never before.

considering this happened after the SRS raid, after the new management takeover, and after the institution of new regulations on 4chan users earlier in this year

I think it has been made abundantly clear the new operators of 4chan work/worked for Reddit.
>>
oh, AND they're shutting down /mlp/.

the new mods are going to kill this site.
remember when they were banning 2nd Amendment discussion on /k/? or when they killed /vg/? or how they're killing waifu (clearly anime)? or how they killed /int/? or how they took dubs from /b/? or how they killed /new/?
>>
>>639143
>oh, AND they're shutting down /mlp/.
I'm seeing nothing on /q/ from any mods/ moot stating this.

>or when they killed /vg/?

What?

I thought I was good at making shit up but man you take first prize.

Point and laugh at him.

It is called ad sessions. Of course they are going to be unique to every person.
It saves having to use shit like cookies, which is objectively better because fuck cookies.

>>639143
These are all good things.
All of those things are shit.

I like that you uploaded a still image instead of a gif. I imagine the squirrel looking at the screen after typing "dragon dildos", pausing a bit to reflect on what he's doing with his life.

Bumping for no more DuckDuckGo threads

The DuckDuckGo ads always has him searching dragon dildos. It knows.

In other news, I don't think they are made specifically for 4chan.
>>
Please bring back J-List partnership, I miss cute girls on every page.
>>
The timing is pretty genius, I just switched to Firefox and DuckDuckGo because of the NSA leaks, the return of the DDG ads were the last straw that pushed me over the edge. Fuck google.

I don't know if they're unique to each person or whatever, but they seem to be things that you don't want people to know you're searching for, so it could plausibly be things that are infamous on 4chan itself.

This is a mootarchy and we bow our heads to the mootsar.
>>
are these ads going to permanently replace the 4chan banners?
>>
Pretty obvious that they're implying no one wants to be known as a redditor.
>>
>>644839
Ok that seriously made me laugh.
>>
>>645413
We had DDG ads for a few weeks last summer and then the J-list ads came back.
>>
>>645413

DDG ads seem to run periodically for a week or two. Red boards didn't J-List ads though.
>>
anyone else find DDG way too suspicious to feel confident using it?
