Gentlemen,
The time seems to be closing in.. I may need to cull all social media accounts.. They have just become too invasive. Anyone seen "The Social Dilemma" on Netfarts?

Gentlemen,

How many accounts do you have?
I simply had an audible 2 minute conversation about wanting to learn Spanish with my 23 year old.. She mentioned she had some discounts on using Babble.. This morning in Instaturd I had a friggin ad for Babble.. These mother fuckers are monitoring our every private moment...
I don't have any of them. Anything private that I want to search is DuckDuckGo and Brave browser.
Actually I lie. I use WhatsApp. But all correspondence there is encrypted (so far)
Further to that I use a VPN. Nordvpn. It basically eliminates all ads and intrusive stuff.
Well that has nothing to do with either Reddit or Instagram. If it was audible only, then it was either Google or Apple listening though your phone(s) if you had them with you.
It's just like if I do a Google search for a particular product on my phone, then suddenly all the ads on every app I open after that (the ones that have ads) are for what I was searching for. This happens even on my local news aps that have ads. It's all intertwined on any account that is tied to you. Just like if you go to the grocery store and use a loyalty card of some kind for discounts and then the supermarket sends you coupons for the exact products you always by. You are basically being tracked 24/7 anymore.
That's why I don't carry a cell nor use any social media.
I just watch porn on my desktop using a VPN
I don't have any social media accounts and I still get targeted ads. I used to freak out about it but I'm over it. The only way to stop it is to become a Luddite. :lol:
Ya'll need to watch this goofy thing.. It's 1.5 hours.. I think even Roomba is mapping the footprint of our homes and reporting that info back..!
"The Social Dilemma" on Netfarts
Google is getting so invasive. I looked at a Reddit page and now I'm getting notifications every time someone posts in that thread. Didn't login, don't have an account. Simply visit the page and they automatically put you on a list.
