  It’s not even just that, humans a incredibly predictable and that predictability is able to be microtargeted based on trends and past activity of an individual.

  I literally let years go by between buying shoes, no kidding. So I don’t think that what you described would cover my specific case.

    You just described a pattern, though.

      You just described a pattern, though.

      From where I see it, there is no pattern of purchasing shoes there, unless you truly expect Google AI/servers to track you multi-years long, to establish an unique shoe purchasing pattern, instead of what they more likely are doing, which is looking at recent online and microphone activity.

      AKA, Occam’s Razor.

      And also, how would Google know beforehand, that I will walk into a shoe store and buy shoes, if I didn’t do any search for them ahead of time online?

  I agree in an abstract, but shoes do not wear at the same rate each year, especially when you buy different shoes each time. My shoe purchases, for instance, vary by a number of years.
