Have you considered carbon monoxide poisoning? Maybe the disoriented you is snitching on you to advertising companies (/s just in case it is not clear).
Comment on I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone

I’ll tell you my story, believe it or not.
I had a Samsung phone. got sick and tired of getting not just targeted advertising about shit I had spoken about, buy also targeted emails as well. really freaky shit.
I switched phones. got a fairphone with e/os.
it’s been about 2 years now. my old Samsung is a phone I use strictly for work. it only exists inside my office and is never taken outside of the room.
ALL my ads and emails are about work related topics now.
I could talk about stuffing cheetos up my rectum outside my office and never see an ad for chester cheetah. as soon as I say anything about it in the office, boom!
Sure, Google, or Amazon, or Facebook may not be listening to you…but that doesn’t mean Samsung someone isn’t listening and selling them that information.

Not surprising. Samsung is one of the most openly spying and breaking laws. They’ve also been caught spying on their customers’ tv microphones.

You are in the same geolocation as other people and they are searching for the stuff you’re talking about. Try whispering to your phone alone in a closet.

I’m not ready for that kind of intimacy.

location data is turned off on my new phone, I also have it spoof my location if it’s ever on.
if what you said were true, then why did my targeted ads completely change to products or services entirely related to my job?
shouldn’t it contain other products that my neighbors are searching for?
