re: Custom advertising online...Creepy or not?

This morning, the wife and I are finishing breakfast at a diner and it's pouring down rain. These three guys come in with slicker suits and soak the entrance and aisles from their wet biker suits. When leaving the diner I spot a Harley and two Can-Am Spyders. I joke about running their bikes over for making such a mess. Wouldn't you know it, I have an ad on this TD page for a Can Am Spyder. Coincidence or creepy?

I am sure there your computer can pick up on audio sort of like when you are talking to siri, it picks up what you are saying, I am sure there is something in the code of these ads to pick up audio. I have a ipad, iphone and a mac. Ive had conversations by my mac and later seen ads that resembled something relevant to a conversation I had. Same thing with my ipad. Just don't talk about wanting how yall want your woman to strap one on and give it to you good..

Even more weird is that while reading this thread I was getting really hungry. The ad at the top says World food program, fighting hunger worldwide. I guess I'll start by feeding myself.

Any electronic is not that well protected. Advertisers and the government are all over watch you watch on TV, what you do on your computer, etc.
These are too remote to be coincidences.

Well if my phone is constantly listening for ad ideas it might explain the crappy battery life...

I do think people are listening to almost all cell phone conversations. I'm not sure, however, exactly what people.
They admit there a stingers (fake cell towers).

I've got car ads from cars I've been looking up but that's about as far as it's gotten for me. Now if I got ads for ebony women near me that me that would be creepy

Usually backwoods meth addicts who have multiple police scanners.

Do you really think the government has the manpower to monitor every citizen in the US? All 300M people? Advertisement drives the internet. Google, youtube, twitter, facebook, etc all depend on targeting all of their millions of users so they have to be as accurate as possible when targeting each and every person. Audio is simply a feed just like when we enter text. No one is sitting around listening to what every single person online is talking about, its coded to pick up this information and to show advertisements related to what it picks up.
The government makes its fair share of mistakes, which I don't think they would make if they were simply able to monitor everyone all the time.

They could've just been geo targeting where they knew the magazine circulated to.
ETA: To answer your question, I love when ads are customized. I'd much rather have ads that pertain to my interests rather than random shite like diapers or purses.

This. Not to mention, did you register for the magazine online?

I think it is a well accepted fact that they use technology that screens out the meaningless conversations by picking up on key words.
The government can be very shady.

I have ads for chloroform, panel vans, duct tape and jello pudding pops, bleach, hacksaws and shovels.

This isn't a conspiracy theory. It is on record that the government is watching/listening. They have the technology to hack any of your devices and find anything about you. Don't think large corporations and businesses don't use this technology as well

There are shady people who work for the government or at least I assume, but it took them what? About a month to get a terrorist's iphone unlocked? Also, if they could track every move everyone makes then they could have prevented several mass shootings from happening. "The government" is a blanket term considering the different agencies are within the government. What agency is monitoring everyone?

No. They can unlock it easy. It was about getting new legislation passed to make it legal

Ads are so 2009.

Like I said...I have searched for hundreds of drumsets and it just happened to pick that one?
It's really cool when people have an answer even though they choose not to understand the question.
