It was hard for me to believe that our phones “listen” to what we say 24/7.

So we did an experiment.

We decided we would randomly start talking about pet food every day.

We don’t have any pet, but that’s the point of it.
We forbid ourselves to Google any pet-related stuff.

We even set daily reminders to not forget about this mission.

We would randomly say aloud things such as:

“Oh, we need to buy pet food for our cat”

or

“Which pet food brand is better?”
Today, after three days of randomly talking about pet food, we got our first pet food ad on Instagram.

So yes, our phones listen to us.

They probably heard how we discussed the content of this thread as well.

End of the experiment.
