Nothing you could do.

zero excuses for not using an adblocker

Based on your search history, websites you visit, your cookies, etc. That or you have AdWare!

Remote viewing.

Did you say anything out loud about it? Twitter & the other social media apps are always recording your voice to use for keywords they can advertise at you with. Tested and confirmed this

Does it still do it when you disable permissions?

>Suggested users to follow: Jackie Chan

i block everything. i have a 60k hosts file. i was literally shaking. never in the past years they suggested jackie chan.

my niece has an iphone so i assume the fucking piece of shit was listening to us and somehow they record the home IP and use that to target you with shit.

Exactly, they're always listening, watching, and lip-reading.

Storing voice data across every device around the world sounds stupid and tedious.

You think about a million things per day.
You see a million ads per day.
Advertisers use targeting to try to match your interests.

You happened to be thinking about your interests as an advertisement rolling the dice happened to land on something you are thinking about.

You ignored all the other ads not related to what you were thinking because of selection bias.

Not when it's automated

this is just one of those things where you probably were receiving bitcoin ads before, but because you just weren't thinking about it your brain just ignored it. Now that you had bitcoin in mind and you saw the ad you lose your shit.

Advertisers are running machine emulations of your personality they have gauged from your twitter and any other postings online.

These systems are amazingly accurate now from applying basic machine learning to them.
Given a month period, they can reach well over a 50% match for an average extrovert on social networking.
Introverts are harder to gauge.

>not 200k~ from all update sources.
It's like you want the hackers to get you.
