Twitter thinks I'm a female game dev, based on the ads it's serving me. Seems to be creeping into my Google ads too.

I find this mis-gendering/mis-jobbing by ad-servers interesting given they're supposed to be really good at figuring us out.

I don't doubt that a good doxxer or analyst could find out virtually everything about me, but the automated systems are failing.

the mis-gendering is especially fascinating given that I have given my gender to many services. Maybe they think my gf/wife is online?

I routinely get ads about Russian singles and computer games. Maybe 'gamer' and 'married' are antagonistic in the algorithms...
