I get adds mostly from Edisons and Alibaba sometimes Hare&Forbes and occasionally others, rarely any that are shooting related.
Add free forums disappeared 15+ years ago.
Do you think providers of internet facilities do so out of the kindness of their collective hearts? Bills have to be paid somehow.
Blame the developers of anti-adblocker software.
edit:
Some sites are so plastered with adds that sometimes it's difficult to follow the actual content.

The ads you get are AI generated, usually related to a search word you may have used somewhere either in Google or Edge or some other search engine. I am currently getting Temu and Ali Express ads for electronics and load restraints.

Nothing here.
Maybe your ad's are a result of the search engine you use?

I look for a tent or car part once and get blasted with ads for similar for a month or more. Look at guns most days and never get an add for em.
