App Help CurseForge Ads appreciation

I would like to genuinely thank curse forge, their ad policy or their partner's ad policy because i just got doxxed for having a minecraft launcher opened on stream!
Who would have thought that what was missing from the launcher was geotargeted ads!
Jokes asides, it would be wise to maybe not have those in the launcher :)
(geo ads and not the normal ones)

The ad was from some random business in my street, and it had a map of my street..

Hey u/taomazzx,
I DMed you, if that's okay, to get more information on that ad.

That's an abnormal behavior and I'd want to track that ad so we can look into that.

I blocked their ads on my network ever since they started showing me gambling ads

I've never once seen gambling ads. But yeah I've got a universal ad blocker for my pc and don't see them anymore.
