I have no clue how ads work ,but I have yet to see that one. It could be based on browsing history? I know I’m seeing a few “local” ads.
I’m guessing this is probably most likely targeted and based on your browser history. As was said above.
Or else it’s some Autodesk payback for all the Blender comments that often pop up on their social media advertising.
yup, history, location based ads (telemetry working)… tells a lot about the consumer
go look for something else 
The ads also look at context on the website. They can tell this is a CG group, and those demographics cause autodesk ads to show up.
Good, let them sponsor our community 
I recall autodesk adverts on the old site too, so I am not sure what the fuss is?
