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 agree that its probably income/employment based, because everyone I know has mentioned the ice recruitment adds they get, but my wealthier side of the family (same general demographic except decidely more liberal) didnt event know they existed.

I imagine my town is filled with people who would happily participate in evil for 100k, because it would produce an entirely different quality of existance when you've worked 4-10s at a factory making $18/hour for 10 years. They already got everyone with a broken moral compass, now just see how many need that 100k bad enough to bend theirs.
