Just noticed today that on just this site via tapatalk a porn advert is placed in every topic.

Afaik, ads are based on your browse history.
Maybe he didnt type it,some member of his family or a friend can trigger those ads.

I know because i see ads like buy this pot garden of my google search o any website that kills the adblocking. The pot garden and buy news flowers its from the search its from my mother.Sometimes i seed ads from her religion and some of her prescription medics.My father its not a tech geek and my mother learns sometimes with me.

Unfortunately its not the case. I dont search porn on my phone.

And its not doing it on the other sites via tapatalk just on this site.

And tbh tapatalk shouldn't be showing porn links even if its finding the search tracker as its not appropriate for the site.

(Also, I'm pretty sure "ads are based on browsing history" is nothing more than an urban myth when it comes to things like these)
Not it isn't. Targeted advertising 100% exists, and is 100% pulled from your activity, especially so if you're using any kind of Google...well, anything.

https://support.google.com/ads/answer/1634057?hl=en <

Reasons you might see an ad
Your info:
Info in your Google Account, like your age range and gender
Your general location
Your activity:
Your current search query
Previous search activity
Your activity while you were signed in to Google
Your previous interactions with ads
Types of websites you visit
Types of mobile app activity on your device
Your activity on another device

Other info:
The time of day
Info you gave to an advertiser, like if you signed up for a newsletter with your email address
Google can personalize ads so they're more useful to you.

Personalized ads aren't shown or hidden from you based on sensitive categories, like race, religion, sexual orientation, or health.
Unless you specifically opt out (including on sites that use their own tracking cookies that aren't just Google's), your general activity is being tracked and used to customize ads for you, including "Adult" ads.

And Tapatalk certainly uses this kind of information to give you "personalized ads", as noted in their privacy policy. https://www.tapatalk.com/privacy_policy <

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, moreso I'm saying that the presence of adult ads doesn't always necessarily correlate with an adult browsing history. I think instantly replying "it's your browsing history" to the presence of adult ads is a bit misleading in that regard, as that isn't like... the only reason adult ads might show up.
