Google Ads?
| No? This would be highliy illegal (at least in europe) i think.
| I haven't seen any ads from Google since late 90s
| It has been debunked. Go watch the newer test videos on youtube.
The guy that got his mic spied on, and got a bunch of ads based on stuff he was talking about, was livestreaming. He did more tests and some other youtuber also did theirs and there're aren't much relation between stuff they say on the mic and the ads that are shown.
| Does it matter? What they are doing is creepy as fuck either way.
| >>337275 yes, it is better to point out what they are actually doing, otherwise next time they do something shitty it'll be "oh yeah just like they were spying on my mic huh"
| >>336229 my parents experienced that, a friend told about a hotel somewhere in the end of the world, so no way google would show, but xd after 10 mins of talking about it it started showing ads about it. It's creepy af
| >>337554 How tf does your friend get information about the end of the world. More importantly, why would you want to stay in a hotel at the end of the world.
| >>338433 Why wouldn't you want to stay a hotel at the end of the world? that sounds like my dream vacation. Please>>c9f9f2 tell us more about how we book a room and travel there.
| >>338433 >>338442 by the end of the world i meant a place so unpopular in a so unpopular country that google simply cant give you by default ads of it. But xd, after 10 mins of discussion about it google start to give ads about it, that was fun.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's willful ignorance.

Who received the ads, your parents or their friends?
If it's your parents who were at the hotel, then my guess is that they know your location through your IP. Just like how on some sites they give you some generic base ad, but in the ad they include your location. For example "HOT SINGLES IN -insert location-"!
| >>339394 that's the point, that's the friends that were there, and after talking about it my parents had ads about it, it can't be location

| Has anyone seen that Google listens to your mic for keywords to later give you ads?
