It doesn’t need to, that’s the issue, there is so much other data you are generating that can be harvested. Nothing you talk about is completely random, so it’s incredibly easy to build profiles about you, without listening to a single word.
I think you’d be surprised, there is always a connection. Oh some middle aged millennial waxing poetic about nostalgia? Wow, totally haven’t heard that before, and it’s certainly not the singular thing every company is capitalizing on in media currently. No, you are absolutely unique and Google is simply listening to every conversation about you.
I had this happen many years ago, to the point there was no chance something wasn’t listening. We suspected it was my partners iPhone with Facebook installed before they got better about preventing abuse like that, as it was a Facebook ad that showed up.
Were talking about something where we never use the product, would never use the product, but it came up in a conversation just between the 2 of us, and there were ads the next day.
