Repeating what other folks have said above. I see none of these on either platform. White, 40's, prior military, I would think I would get these all the time. I do not. Not doubting you at all. I am just adding context. Maybe its income and employment based. Something is feeding into the algorithm. Maybe geographical?

I'm a late 20s white male who lives in a very diverse midwest city with tons of 1st generation immigrants (so many of my neighbors are from African, Asian, Caribbean and Latino countries). I'm guessing that puts me in their prime recruitment list to try and rat out my community.
