Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

There probably is a reasonable explanation for it. But it's nice to put on the tinfoil hat every once in a while.
I do it. It's scary af when you get an ad related to a conversation when nobody had a device on them. It's even worse when it was only a thought.
I don't know how advanced the tech is, whether it's using predictive models and/or listening e.g. to you singing in the shower and guessing what products you might need next. In a way I don't want to know the full answer.
It manages to send me ads of products I just bought based on I think the path I walk in a store and maybe even my bank sharing details of my purchase. Many times I had bought for example a beer, without looking it up online or talkkng about it, only to leave the store and directly getting an ad about the same beer. The length they go is insane.
