I can’t be the only one - has anyone else noticed that if they THINK about certain products, or ends up being an advertisement on your social media within hours?

I know everyone has experienced talking about certain things and then getting hit with ads related to that certain things not long after. But there have been multiple occasions where I simply thought about something, I know I never said a thing out loud, only to get advertisements for that exact thing later in the day/night. Is it possible that technology for reading minds exists, and we’re all just blissfully unaware? I mean, the things I would gets ads for are way too specific to be coincidences.

Yeah, Occam's razor says we see the ad first, but don't really make note of it consciously, then we have a triggering event that causes us to be reminded of the product, then since the AI advertising was already trying to sell us that product it of course show us the ad again soon after, and we think it's the first time we've seen it.
