I used to spend time on Facebook catching up with friends and family. That was way back in like 2010. I can't stand that platform now. It's all AI trash and random reels. I don't even know why I'm getting some of these reels but I suspect they are sharing data with other platforms like YT. I miss the internet of the 2000s...
They all share data or buy it. Talk about some random shit near your phone they know. I do it for giggles now. Not sure what works as a trigger it but I've made my own advertising for workout equipment, dj tables, etc without searching any of it.
Oh yeah. I get that too. I'm sitting here talking about the most random shit with my cousins and bam! Facebook got an ad for that.
