Grok - Shit banners on this site

Is anybody else getting a drop-down banner whenever they log onto this site of Fiona Bruce or Charlotte Church or Susanna fucking Reid or some other celebrity having the AI equivalent of having their head photoshopped onto the body of Sabrina with the big melons who sang Boys (Summertime Love)?
To be fair, in Charlotte Church's case she probably doesn't need to be photoshopped.
Still, it's proper fucking annoying tbh.

I'm surprised the usual who advice of wiping your knob on the screen hasn't been given out to the people having problems with this Grok.

The ads are based entirely on your internet history, are they not?
I just brought a new Eastpak bag after looking at their website and a few others, and that's all my ads are for now. That and trainline after I checked a couple of journeys.
Maybe I got it wrong...but it's pure celebrity based clickbait which promises some kind of half baked nudity.
I bought a pair of boots and a Lacoste top just after Christmas and kept getting pop-ups related to that but I don't know why all this celeb shit comes up. I have no interest in it.
That is weird! Someone else using your computer?.......
My money is on Richard Madeley.

Althought if so you'd hope they didn't have quite such basic and dull tastes!

Do you who the advert is for. I can review the publishing list and ban them if it helps.

I don't see any of this nonsense.
What the hell have you got installed on your device(s)?
There appears to be nothing grok related in the site source code.

For fucks sake...
Judy Finnegan has just come up now.
Surely it's ain't just my phone. I don't even use the damn thing to look at anything in that category. So it can't be picking anything up from my history or usage.
Is this what is the hot topic of debate in Parliament these days?

No, I don't have any ads like this, and I'm jealous that you do.

Maybe uninstall Grok?
Nope, I don't have many apps on my phone and certainly nothing like Grok.
The banners that pop down certainly look like they are created with something like that.
Anyway, more clickbait
Take a screenshot and post it so we can all see!
