It's getting harder for me not to think my thoughts aren't tracked by cookies (lemmygrad.ml)

Like, I keep seeing more and more ads about things I only thought about while not looking up anything online about it. For example: after I got out of the shower this morning I thought about how I needed to apply cream on my arms to prevent dry skin. It was only a thought that took me a few seconds. And minutes later I receive an ad on Instagram about dry skin.

I have never even googled dry skin. I didn't say anything about it to anyone lol. And I get the ad the day I think about it? These things keep happening more and more for some reason.

I know it's not possible and I promise I'm not going insane or anything, so don't lock me up lol. Just an observation.

They can look at the data they already have about you and then predict the kinds of things you might be thinking at any given time.

When we all have our own personal ThoughtGPT to advertise to us things are going to get really freaky.
