Bro, I'll literally be having a conversation with someone about a topic, and all of the sudden Google starts recommending me products related to the discussion afterwards. Smart phones and smart speakers without a doubt listen in on our conversations. There's the evidence.

Find a literal shred of evidence. You have no clue how ads work bruh.

That's not evidence. That's some random anecdote. Back it up or gtfo.

Eh, surprised that's happening to someone in this community. Strip Google off your phone and throw out any hardware with a microphone that doesn't run open source software and this will stop happening.
