No bro one time I was talking about buying protein shakes with my bro and then THE VERY NEXT DAY I saw an ad for protein shakes after watching Joe Rogan on the weightlifting subreddit.
You expect me to believe this is coincidence?!?!?!?!?!

Perfect choice of game to display this
And when they have sci-fi helmets they have bright lights shining at their face. Surely that would be annoying.
Same. If anything, it would be in Spotify's best interest to steer you away from broadly appealing stuff because they're the mega artists that probably negotiated a better deal. (I'm guessing here)
Tall people are short people that are tall
Upset that "loop detected" isn't the fat lööps cat
Straight up misleading. Mentioning AI in the headline and then sneakily switching to "the cloud" (i.e. most of the internet) when discussing figures. They say it uses a similar amount to commercial flights? Fine. Ground the flights, I'd rather have the internet a million times over.
A lot of these are anger or high energy. What about when you're hungover and it's early in the morning? I went to a metal festival once and was woken up by Skindred - Nobody at about 8am. I don't want metal in the morning! I want something safe and slow. Give me Journey or Snow Patrol.
On top of this, there's lots of ways that they would get the data without secretly listening to microphones, which people may not be aware of in all these anecdotes. In the one above, maybe just one party member googled lab grown diamonds, or perhaps messaged a friend on Facebook messenger about their trick. Not sure if that gets analysed for ads but it's more plausible than mics. Anyway if they're all on the same WiFi then they'll probably be on the same IP and could easily be shown the same ads, making all party members now ripe for a diamond ad.
There's a well known video of a guy saying "cat food" around his phone, and then his phone shows Google ads for cat food. He concluded that it was secretly listening to him, because there was no other way for Google to get that info other than to shadily tap into his mic. He performs this experiment on a live streamed YouTube video
Because they listen to astrology?
