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.

Nightmarish, you have my condolences.

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.

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

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