I understand that’s the theory, but these situations were specifically not something that could be easily gleaned. We’re talking like reminiscing about things that happened in our pre internet youth that there’s no record of anywhere and that came up randomly in conversation. I’m definitely aware of the dynamic, even before ubiquity of the internet, it’s true that sometimes companies would know people were pregnant before the person did based on their purchasing profile. This wasn’t that though, there’s just no possible connection.
That happened a few times now, so pretty much nothing is going to convince me it’s not the case.
I think you’d be surprised, there is always a connection. Oh some middle aged millennial waxing poetic about nostalgia? Wow, totally haven’t heard that before, and it’s certainly not the singular thing every company is capitalizing on in media currently. No, you are absolutely unique and Google is simply listening to every conversation about you.

No, I wouldn’t be, because I was talking about a random location which was indeed pretty unique. That said, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you, I’m a big fan.
Also, what a random thing to be a prick about lol.
