my favorite shit is actually Smart TVs/Streaming services doing this.

I love walking into my friends' house while they're watching something on like Hulu or Netflix using the built-in app on their Smart TV and as soon as my phone has been connected to their wifi for more than 10 minutes they'll start getting insulin/diabetes drug ads because my fucking advertising footprint realized I've been a diabetic for 15+ years like right around the pandemic. Every time my friends are like "WHY DID THIS OZEMPIC/METFORMIN/ETC AD PLAY NOT FIVE MINUTES AFTER YOU CAME IN?!?!" and each time I'm like "you should install pihole plus I'm not even a type 2 so that shit is useless to me lemme know when you get a insulin pump ad".
