>Is my phone listening to me all the time and picking up buzzwords and trying to sell me things based on that?

Yes, this has been known for a few years now. Targeted ads from listening on your microphone.
All those terms of services you blow through without reading? All those permissions you look at and ignore when you install an app?

Talk about Taco Bell a lot, 20 minutes later youll see ads for it.

Technology luddites sound crazy until you understand the scope of your data and how its being used.
Remember all the people saying how windows 10 telemetry is ok?

Yes it is. Do you have Facebook installed?

>>1230092
No. Rooted phone and have been clean for two years now.

>>1230095
Must be some other app. Facebook real bad about it and I'm pretty drunk rn to look into it more

No.

My second social goal is now to talk a bunch about dildos or some shit around my friends so it appears in their google searches. My first social goal is still to actually make friends.

If you searched a term on google then any apps that use googles ads service will display results related to your search terms regardless of the device.

if you are signed into google on your laptop and you search for say "Ski Goggles".

then any android device you're signed into on your google account will then start displaying ads related to sporting goods.

my grandmother has my old laptop I never signed out of and now I suddenly have knitting and crafting ads all over the fucking place.

>>1230084
Yes, and so is any other "smart" device you're around.

>>1230084
Did you let your dog play with your phone?

>>1230084
Yes.
I work in a factory with many spanish speakers, my ads have started being spanish.
Impressive considering I work in a noisy factory.
My guess is that phones are feeding data to eachother when in proximity for a length of time.
The fbi uses a similar tech to track people.

since Google is the biggest advertisement website and Play Store is an app that has root-like permissions, your best bet is flashing LineageOS and not installing Play Store. Yalp Store is a good and lightweight alternative, F-Droid is good for updating open source apps that isn't on Play Store.

Your second goal is an indicator of why you'll never reach your first goal.
