This is a effect called “Frequency illusion”
The frequency illusion (also known as the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon) is a cognitive bias in which a person notices a specific concept, word, or product more frequently after recently becoming aware of it

I noticed too that when I bought my car, I started seeing a lot of them in my area. It’s probably the same phenomenon.

I’m aware of the illusion, but very few topics feel as meta as this one
