Ok I love the sims and have been visiting this forum for inspiration and ideas. However I found it quite funny that when I visit other websites I see that all the google ads are 'The Sims 4 Dine Out'. Yes I have already bought Dine Out, the minute it came out...lol. The last site I visited had 4 ads all The Sims 4 Dine Out! Ok I get the message!

Yeah it is annoying, you especially have to be careful around xmas time when buying gifts online!! That is unless nobody shares your computer.
Wow, this is clear evidence of EA's mastery of marketing, consumer psychology, and product publishing! No wonder The Sims is successful everywhere despite random and entirely insignificant negative personal reviews from 'youtubers'.
It's intended to associate like products with your selection history by meta data however, depending on variety and accuracy of the algorithm(s), redundancy or lack of results can become a problem.
I mean those who play TS3 sometimes either play TS4 as well or are not interested in TS4!
EDIT: Joking
Not all of the YouTubers are negative though and I would say the ones who are probably have good reason to be because if you're trying to make a living off YouTube you really don't want to carelessly bite the hand that may be feeding you. TheSimSupply regularly posts TS4 videos and he always seems to genuinely enjoy the game and LGR is still pretty much my go-to "review" channel for things related to The Sims. I don't always agree with him, but he comes across as being as unbiased as he can be.
It is however still amusing to me to go to a website and be bombarded with ads of the same image. Well at least if makes me think to play the Sims!
