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”

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.
