reply guys

just had 20 min passionate office argument about whether or not your phone listens to you and feeds you ads based on what you talk about

i am team “algo so good it doesn’t need to and saying so is just cope”

somebody pls confirm my bias thx

Also people forget that the algorithms cluster based on nearby phones. I can Google something and a person who lives with me, like a roommate/spouse, will have their algo slightly influenced by my searches if there is overlap. This is often how they "listen", they literally read the room.
