Careful - you might get messages from Gestede's agentCan I suggest we all start incessantly bleating into our phones " Boro need a striker now "
I was out in my car with my wife on Friday night and Say Hello, Wave Goodbye came on the radio so I was singing it very enthusiastically. Not a song you hear too often and not a song that I ever play on my phone. Yet when I woke the next morning and had a look on Facebook this was there at the top of my feed.
A few weeks ago I was discussing the possibility of getting a greenhouse with my wife, a short time later that was an advert on Facebook for greenhouses.
Coincidence?

Strange. We were talking about this just yesterday. I've been watching Humans lately and was telling my son about it - synths and everything - in the morning.
It is indeed. Same as the end user licencing agreements which are pages and pages and pages long and no one ever reads what they are signing up forI can't even find mic access settings. There are dozens of settings. It would take me ages to go through them all. No doubt that is intentional.
Is that effect like when you buy a car you think is unique and then all of a sudden you see them everywhere after you've bought it?Experiments were done with phones left in a room and played audio at them discussing brands and products and monitored their activity vs some phones in silence. No changes to behaviour or data usage was observed.
more likely coincidence, or derived by your other behaviour online. Search history, music choices, buying patterns etc all tie back to unique identifiers so advertisers profile you quite specifically.
there is a thing called the baader-meinhoff effect. You notice something be cashed you have recently discussed it or learned about it for the first time. That thing might have popped up plenty of times before but you didn’t have that mental link created in your head to make it stand out.
