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.

I’m the opposite. I never get targeted ads. Not only do I browse on a vpn but I don’t use social media at all. My ad profile is so off. I’m like one of the hardest people to sell stuff to.

lmao same, I get ads for old conservatives quite often, stuff like “agh look at Hunter Biden’s gigantic ~~hog~~secret!!!” Or “how to stay in shape as a 50-60-70 year old man” and it has pictures of like a Tiger or a Bear or a wolf for each of the ages. Idk why I get those but they’re so damn funny to see.
