“This is why you will see ads pop up when you are online. Ads with the very, obscure topic you were just discussing with someone. Awnings, RV’s, rocking chairs, dry rubs, whatever you were discussing.”
My wife ended our short FB trip about 10+ years ago.
We are both retired and often go online with our phones or chromebook while sitting about 8-10’ apart. Things we had mentioned the day before online or near it, ended up in ads as you noted above. Seldom are both of us ever on the same site.
Now, we both have new android phones and a new Chromebook and 2 internet/service providers.
She is addicted to Kindle, and I use my Chromebook for this site and a handful of sites.
We share no links and often what we discuss orally shows up as ads or on line.
So it isn’t just FB collecting our data like a minnie NSA!
4 I smelled a very dangerous aspect of Facebook a long time ago. Never signed up for it and never will.
The same with Tiktok. RED ALL OVER!!.
