FACT!!!!


If you type a word into a search engine, or look at something on Amazon, or E-Bay, you will see ads on your time lines for weeks or longer on that item. Some of it is simply demographics. An advertiser buys leads for old musicians... hearing aids.... they know we played loud and have hearing loss.

check out duckduckgo for a search engine. It's private and things don't follow you around. Amazon is still fair game.... so be aware.


that was my thinking about why I was seeing the ads without first searching for the product. Google knows enough about me to put me in a specific demographic: a baby boomer who rides bikes. Which is why I thought others here might be getting similar ads. But, maybe not.
