Who else gets the weird ads on the pages they look up on their phone
I know its connected to your google search history but Ive never looked up how to clear your bowels with banana's ( not by sticking them up your arse I'd imagine )
Or weird jumpers with animals on them
At least its not an easy way to clean out your ears which was going for about a month
Anyone get anything different

Waterproof boots and clothing which is to be expected but strangely the most recent and repeated ads are for weight loss programmes and tablets which I have never ever googled.
Every ad for wish has inflatable dolls and lingerie which I have never once searched for either. |

"What do ye be googling? 
Nothing close to what’s being recommended for me........swear 
Google knows maaan "
I've never looked at a hoodie with a cat on the front or a picture of a hole so that it looks as if I'm see through
Maybe its linking the cat and the hole to other stuff  |

I get a lot for Christian Mingle dating I think they are trying to reform me.
Recently I was having a discussion in a well known message app used by fabbers. The very unusual item of clothing that was discussed was soon after a suggested purchase on Facebook. |

Come back to me when you're trying to show a relative something on Facebook and there's a Wish ad for kinky stuff. Don't think I've ever seen my mother's eyes open as wide. |

Every yarn spinner, dyer, supplier and knitting publication known to man, and a raft of menopause products.
Sadly this is an accurate depiction of my life  |

It's not only your search history that determines what ads you get, but an enormous amount of data is used to built up an ad profile for you.
Age, sex, GoogleMaps, marital status, type of phone/laptop, if you travel via bus/bike/car, every online purchase confirmation ever sent to your Gmail including Flights/amazon/sex shops, YouTube searches, all your hands free voice commands like "Ok Google, play X on Spotify", apps downloaded, every website you have ever signed up to using Gmail, also the people in your google/whatsapp contacts list affect it.
You can request your complete google data package to be mailed to you and it is in the Terabytes! |

Don't do social media at all, and all the apps I use are either paid or ad free, but I get the frustration used to hate pop ups and targeted adds.
Remember peeps Google is listening. We have Google nest in every room and I'm sure it hears us cause it puts up ads on family members phones for things they have talked about. |

I have a few Google homes in the house
A few years ago I was talking to my son about going to the new star wars film in his bedroom
When I went downstairs to get my phone it sent me a message via google maps telling me to leave in 25 mins to catch star wars in liffey valley |

For some reason when I'm in work about 10 mins, Google maps informs that traffic is light and id be home in under and hour. (Think it likes rubbing it in that I've 10 hrs of work to do)
Google maps used to ask me to take the opportunity to take a pic in testosterone! |
