Exactly. I did an experiment after I noticed that google front page was sending me recommendations to get things on ebay. So I did a single search for dildo, then another for thongs and then waited and waited for a sign. And there it is! eBay sells their data to Google.
Nah, its the same problem in india. Ive turned off ad personalization and hence I’ll get the most disgusting shit on my front screen. Stopped using youtube altogether because of it.
