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.

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

Yeah no.

More like I walk buy my bosses new drill and wonder what amp hour battery he has on it and two minutes later I get advertisements for extended amp hour batteries on Instagram.

Nice try though but think it though.

Most of the time that is the case. However in instances where a problem presents itself in the moment and something is needed and you only think of that thing you want in the moment, it's not something you're looking for that you've been programmed to want beforehand.

So how does your phone know about those thoughts you had that only came up in the spur of the moment?
