I thought my phone listening to me was a myth until my friend mentioned a niche brand of hiking boots in person and my feed was flooded with ads for them 2 hours later.

We were offline in a state park near Boulder, zero search history for the brand, and the targeted ads started before I even got home, which convinced me the mic access is way more active than they admit. Has anyone else had a super specific offline conversation turn into ads?

Could just be a wild coincidence, right?

Know exactly what you mean, grant826, that feeling is just too weird to ignore. It's like the universe is trying to send a signal when stuff lines up that way. I've had it happen and it never feels like just plain luck. Makes you wonder what's really going on sometimes.
