Every time I talk about food, I get ads for certain restaurants. That is the typical experience of mine. I mentioned "those fancy onion looking houses in Russia" and the next thing I know an ad for blooming onions from Outback Steakhouse appears before a YouTube video. I dare not even speak other languages near some technology because then the language of my ads change. Not only that, but my phone must know when I wake up in the morning because I get phone calls as soon as I wake up, and I've had certain websites misgender me because a guy is talking near my technology or is in a photo or because I sound tomboyish or look tomboyish in photos and they were trying to "detect" my gender using the spy stuff. I'm surprised these people who are behind the surveillance still trust their own judgment.
