I'm so glad someone else brought up the fact that your phone can "read" your mind. I was thinking (only thinking, hadn't verbalized it or openly mentioned dirty carpets out loud anywhere) about renting a carpet cleaner. Couple hours later I check my recommendations for youtube and there is a video from an account I've never seen before talking about different brands of carpet cleaners and how to use them.
My only advice is to NEVER sleep with your phone in the same room and minimize any interaction you have with it.
I made a post about exactly this. On a very regular basis I only think of things, never once speak it out loud, and it becomes an ad within the hour. it's happened to me a good 50 times since i've noticed it.

Have you considered that it wasn't responding to what you're thinking so much as, having subtly seeded it prior, providing you with adverts after the allotted time had passed for it to trickle up to your conscious mind?

No. Because we are the random element in the universe. WE ARE the random number generator hence Satan's hatred for us. The ability for free-will/creation.
They are technologizing us to use us as this random number generator in an attempt to decrypt the 49th Key used to open the Abyss/rent the veil at CERN.

I understand what you're saying but this was only a thought I had after I noticed more dirt on the soles of my feet after I walked on my carpet. It wasn't a product or service that could be "seeded" beforehand.

use an ad-blocker, I never see adverts so its a non-issue.

all that means is your phone and the ad agencies are controlling your thoughts, not reading them. You have been programmed

I was going to say this too. Your phone is not reading your mind, it is telling you what to think.
