There are middlemen, but that's exactly right. Whoever pays an entity to place/publish their ads and gives them the parameters of the profile type they're targeting. photo bucket scans your photos and that AI makes its way to the data aggregators whose profiles are used by the entity (there are more middlemen but you get the idea) to place their customers ads.

Do you have a shopper discount card at the store or have you used that payment card with the discount card in the past?
