This happens to me all the time. My husband and I will be talking about getting a new pair of adidas shoes and I'll open my computer and have several ads for adidas shoes (even the running ones that we talk about) when I had not looked them up recently on my computer or phone.

Welcome home.

The US has been compromised since at least 1913. As in the British and their friends took it back. The reality presented is propaganda, from our partisan politics to history itself.

right

try talking about big dick problems in the proximity of the listening device -pardon me - phone and let us know what happens.

lol i don't have a phone and i hermit. the response has been attention from all weird directions. fun experiment

if anyone has any advice for people with big dick problems please PM me. I'm asking for a friend

Its probably not your phone. They have facial recognition software that they potentially could be using to link your face to your receipt at most larger chain stores you visit. I think this is done en masse, if not, do you think they want a consultant?

Maybe they got you a week ago but only just popped it up now because it could be assumed you'd be needing more by now?

You know... now that you mention it... enough people make topics like this here almost every day that it could actually use a sub of it's own. It would be cool to see compilations of people leery of their own phones.

Like AdWatchers or HowDidItKnow maybe?

WhosFingerIsThat

Maybe rfid chip in the packaging? What kind of phone?

I have been getting ads on my fb ( I use the tinfoil app..hahaha I know the irony) for things I searched on my laptop. I do not log into fb on my laptop an this did not start happening until I plugged my phone into my laptop last week to upload a photo. I do not know how they do it..but they do.

It's google. There is ai in place that recognizes you. On your devices it knows if it's your patterns or someone else's. On other devices it has a pretty good chance of recognizing your pattern and knowing it's you. Your online patterns are like fingerprints. Your keystrokes, your speech patterns ( &/or typing patterns ) your demeanor and your opinions are known.

You're full of shit...hahahaha

That is creepy. I do not use the goog on my laptop either. Never log into my gmail from here (work email). Just reddit ebay and porn.

Still blows my mind people don't realize this has been happening for over a decade. Companies buy your information from data brokers and then construct personalized profiles with thousands of data points specifically to engineer consumer behavior. You've barely even scratched the surface of surveillance capitalism.

They don't realize it because while those companies are farming your data, other companies who buy said data use it to invest a great deal of money in an endless stream of digital distractions, which, in turn, never allows most people the opportunity to uncover such revelations for themselves.

...until now

It probably heard you talking about it and used keywords with voice recognition to match ads. Facebook requests use of your mic when you first install.

Welcome the the nwo

I don't really search stuff for purchasing needs so Facebook tries to aquaint me so hard but fails.

...until now
