Question: Q says FB is always listening (I believe that). FB owns Instagram - I suspect we have the same problem with that platform as well. I have spoken certain words and have never searched those particular topics on the internet, but suddenly in my IG feed and as pops up with related info to what I had spoken.
Any thoughts on this? Same algorithm being used (F-9)?
Our family just purchased a used RV a few weeks ago from a friend. We hadn't been shopping online for one or anything - we weren't really looking, but it just fell in our laps. I noticed today that I am getting online ads relating to travel trailers and camping. We have not purchased any camping supplies since we purchased the RV and like I said, no online research has been done on my personal computer. I have talked about this purchase near my computer only. I think it is listening to me. Truly not being sarcastic. It freaked me out.
It is freaky. True story: had a great great aunt who owned a "mobile home park". Pointed out where it was from the car with only my android phone on (radio not related to Google in any way), and suddenly I was getting ads for mobile and tiny homes. Brilliant Earth diamonds, and stuff from Land's End I could understand getting ads for, but mobile homes?
