Well now I'm getting Instagram ads for the trashcan I bought from Costco yesterday. I never mentioned the name of the company out loud or in text.
A lot of things to fix, but we need updated federal privacy laws.

@ai6yr i don't, but my first thought was Costco sharing receipts with advertisers.
@tsherrygeo Well, for the record, I removed Facebook from my phones and haven't logged in for 15 years because of what I call the "hummus incident", where I suddenly was getting hummus ads everywhere (phone, computer, etc.) after just a vocal discussion of needing to buy hummus with the family. No one did any searching, etc. etc. just talking about it. Never trusted the thing since.
@tsherrygeo Hmm, do you get your receipts from Costco emailed to you? I'm pretty sure Gmail is sucking that info out of emails 😬
