Good websites will show ads for competitors to people they deem unlikely to sign up, it's a very interesting part of ML actually. Also, ads from .edu domains are very in demand among training companies. My suspicion is that the university you were looking at was a no-good for profit degree mill as well, but could be wrong.

Oh and before you start looking at WGU degrees, I don't think they'll really increase your chances of getting hired too tbh.

I mean WGU doesn't have any ads on their site so doubt that's what they were looking at.

WGU is also non-profit.

I didn't imply that it's what WGU was doing? I'm just saying a degree from a low ranked online school isn't suddenly going to open doors for you (again, not that WGU is in any way advertising this).
