The reality is they don’t need to listen. They have so much data on users. how old you are where you are what you last bought when you just bought it who you are near what they bought what the people around you are searching and what ads they are seeing what is being bought and sold by everyone around you when you sleep what you eat the things you are chatting about on MMS where you go when you’re home and when and where you work It just goes on and on and on. People think they are unique but they are not as unique as they think.

NONE of that data can predict a random occurrence discussion that goes in a specific direction. A great example is something that happened to me in 2015. One night I was out with friends, and one of them had a really bad panic attack. The next day I was discussing it with a colleague during a smoke break, who recommended he gets a clip-on pulse oximeter. No searches, nothing, literally just a half minute detour in our chat. I repeat, nothing was typed in or looked up or in any way entered into any computer intentionally. Five minutes later we're sitting in front of our respective computers and I start getting ads for the very thing. Mind you, we're still at a point where nothing noted during this discussion was entered into any computer. Explain this.
