I’m I turning into a tin hatter or…

Do you get adverts linked to conversations you’ve had?

So I have asked people IRL but can’t get a straight answer, same deal with google really.

We all know that if we search for something then we get adverts for said thing on social media. But I swear a few times this week I have had scarily specific adverts for things I know I haven’t search for. But have spoken about IRL or on watsapp.

Examples;
Went old fashioned shopping for kids trainers, didnt pre research or price check after. Suddenly getting adverts for the exact trainers.

Tonight had a convo about (forgive me I’m the mum beautiful but minging under 5’s) not sticking your finger up your bum. Que advert for a finger puppet where it says finger access is in the bum (this sounds weird but it looks legit, please don’t judge me or my children).

Daughter talking about rapunzal and me and partner wondering where the new obsession came from. Que advert for Rapunzal Lego.

At work Friday me asking about Mermaids Purse charity - Amazon toy advert for a mermaids purse.

ALL of these - Amazon?

AIBU and a conspiracy nut or is my phone and possible Amazon listening to me?

It's just happened again. I have some beef and thought to myself I'll make stroganoff. Went to google a recipe and as soon as I typed beef it came up beef stroganoff

Iv been baking with the bum poking monsters (hands washed!) and had a flick through facey. Ads for cookie cutters and baking equipment.

After bedtime I’m going to start looking at my permissions and microphone etc.

Doesn't seem to work with me.

DP and I are moving house and had long conversations yesterday about items we need to buy.

I've also been talking to/by my phone about random items, to see if I get targeted ads.

Nothing relevant so far and all my permissions are on.

Happened to me after WhatsApp conversations and emails. Got ads but also YouTube suggestions (weirdly).
