  • I’m glad for the switch. Buuuut it doesn’t work like that.

    You search cars heavily. You and your Mum have FB/social media. You have Bluetooth or location or WiFi on. Social knows your hanging out and likely to discuss cars. It shows them ads.

    A tech podcast did a dive into this. It even works if your partner and mum arnt connected on social media. Imagine your Mum lives interstate. Mum searches plane tickets and is coming in a month, during the time she searches perfumes but doesn’t buy. A few days before arrival your partner gets perfume ads from a place nearby. When mum lands she talks about getting perfume. Partner has been primed where to go.

    Its insidious. Graphine will help a little but if you use the internet there is still tracking.

    My phone carrier requires an app to change plans. I installed it in a separate profile then the next day got ads for it in FB.
