I had a 5 minute conversation with my niece at the park about rotary phones and now my feed is full of rotary phone-related articles. This happens more times than I can remember.
- noslenwerdna 4y agoYour niece searched for rotary phones?
- quasimodem 4y agoThat's a good theory. I'm not on any social networks, however I do email her, so perhaps Google associates me to her via my contacts list?
- svnt 4y agoThe implication is it listens to you? Or she searched rotary phones after you spent an hour or two in the same places?
- quasimodem 4y agoMy gut reaction is that it listens to me, either directly or via some app, but I know Google has refuted this fact. I suppose this is testable too, so I tend to fall on the confirmation bias side of things.
- jhugo 4y agoThe conversation didn't prompt you to look up any rotary-phone-related content?
- quasimodem 4y agoI am confident it did not, that conversation was out of my mind as soon as it ended, which was why I was so surprised to see it dredged up again in my feed.
