I noticed this a few years ago. My wife and others thought I was imagining it.
They don’t think that any more!
Countless times we’ve discussed a subject (just talked about it, not googled it or anything else), then very shortly after ads on that exact subject start popping up on my devices. It’s so specific and so quick, no one denies it now.
One (to me) crazy example. My wife and I were discussing a local hospital, I said it has an ok but not great heart clinic. Later that day an ad from that hospital popped up on my iPad, the ad said how great their heart program is.
And, I have all microphones (that I can find) turned off. I’ve done my best, but there’s so many listening programs and devices (phones, computers, iPads, TVs etc) it’s a losing battle.
When you google something, yes I totally get that it’s tracked and you’re going to get specific ads etc. But I’m talking about instances where the subject was only discussed in a conversation.
