It's called targeted advertising. Basically when you go to google, youtube, facebook, etc, they track what you search for and look at. The ad networks pay big money to see where you go and what you look at. Then when a company like IMO comes along and wants to advertise, they pay to send their ads to people who are interested in caves.
