Yeah. Probably just moved it to an archive database and said “see it’s not in a production database anymore.”

This is like all the normies that think their phone is listening to their conversations while it's in their pocket.
OH MY GOD IT HEARD ME TALKING ABOUT NEEDING A NEW DISH WASHER AND NOW I KEEP GETTING DISHWASHER ADS.
It's not true, never has been. The actual answer is Google knows so much about you they can just predict when you need a new dish washer, or any other item or major life change, or when you're thinking of taking a trip, or having kids, or anything. They know all of it. They don't have to listen to you say it.
This is the price of using the internet every day for your entire life.

There are apps on your phone that do listen to voice though, and they can sell that. That’s pretty much “your phone is listening to your for ads”. Is the actual phone company doing it, no. The user has to allow microphone access on each app to do it but I’m guessing a lot of people just click yes when the initial app popups are coming up.

I disagree with you, I often have items pop up in my ads and youtube that I have discussed with others and haven't looked up at all. I've even turned off all the listening stuff on almost every app. I don't know how they're doing it but it is occurring.

Pretty sure Tesla is sucking up all the driver info from Telsa cars/drivers to fuel their AI self driving car. But at least those people know it, or should know it.

Just google it. Apps on the phone do listen. The phone itself isn’t but from our end it’s the same thing.

Yeah they don't hide it.
I heard (and too lazy to confirm) that as an example, Whatsapp can't read your message since it's encrypted end-to-end. However, the dictionnary you use can have access to the words you're typing and read that.
I tried once to browse for stuff I did not need and see how fast ads pops up. It's quite fun - do it on your PC, you can see ads of that on your mobile and other devices almost immediately.
+1 for Brave Browser. Reddit is blocked also, tells you how smart that browser is !

Nah, I use Brave and have a triple GUI interfaced VPN. My Internetz are unstealable.

Are you sure that you didn't see it previously and interact with it?
Are you sure you didn't search on your phone with it, and then see it on your desktop?
I'm wondering if it's like a "green truck" situation. Where you never see green trucks until you own one, but then you see green trucks on the highway all the time now that you're on the look out for them.

Dude read the last few posts. There are apps that listen.
Facebook isn’t eavesdropping, but the truth is more disturbing
A longstanding conspiracy is the tale of how Facebook is listening in on your conversations, but the way it is actually serving you ads is much more unsettling.

I’m not sure this dude reads the threads he’s in. We’re talking about apps listening to us in the Nvidia thread.

Take the news articles if you swipe left on an android phone. Me and a buddy at work were talking about windows 11 upgrades on unsupported CPUs for around 10 mins a few days ago. Next time I opened my phone and looked at those items the 3rd one was about upgrading to windows 11 on unsupported CPUs. Youtube regularly recommended stuff we talked about back 5+ years ago when I was still in the office and I never even used the YT app, just the site in a browser to avoid ads.

Positive, we even did some testing with it. For example, we started talking about a Mercury Cougar for a couple days straight. Started getting YouTube video recommendations, as did my friends. We picked that car on purpose because no one would want it or look it up.
