Targeted Ads using bald models? WTF.

Have you guys been noticing more ads targeted to you with bald guys in the photos?  I have. I get ads like this from a variety of sources.

Perhaps Google, et al, have picked up the fact a bald? Or bald dudes in advertising is the 'in thing"?  idk. I say 25% of the sh*t I get, unsolicited, has a pic of someone with a bald head trying to sell me something.




BTW, I still get spam for products to save my hair. Pft!

It would be interesting if ad companies started targeting hairstyles, but my guess is that more ads are using "racially ambiguous" models and having a shaved head helps with racial ambiguity.

There are so many more headshavers now. I also tend to notice sly guys more since joining the brotherhood. Also, the ad companies might think a bald guy is more noticeable to watchers.

I get a chuckle out of the one where the young guy says he isn't bald, but has to shave his head because his insurance is so high he can't afford to go to the barber for a haircut.
