Comment on I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone

  about buying dog or cat food a couple times today.

  I have both, also, if it’s real, you’d have to match up with an advertiser that really wants your profile.

  I search for crap all the time but don’t get ads most of the time, then one time, I look up this one kaz air filter and get nothing but ads for it for a week. hundreds of home depot ads.

    I love how having both a dog and a cat is somehow dismissive

      My big problem isn’t with the concept I could talk about buying parrot food.

      But there has to be a vendor out there that says hey whoever I’m buying this data from, I need to put an ad in front of parrot owners.

      These are going to be very high cost ads, so whatever products they’re going to sell you probably have a respectable profit margin or respectable expected lifetime value.

      Trying to trigger it on purpose, without any idea of who’s advertising or for what is somewhat of a fool’s errand.

        How many dog and cat owners are out there anyway? Dozens perhaps.
