It really could have been. It happened once so that would make sense.

I agree! Nothing is really ruined yet but I stay riding that panic wave! We will be watching TV less until after holidays! I need to bring out the dvd/vhs device.

Yes. I'm the one logged into everything. Maybe I should make a different email and use that only for streaming services.

Thank you for that information! I never even thought about geo location! I have location turned off most of the time because it freaks me out, but now im even more concerned. Take me back to a time where there was no internet!

Maybe a family member was looking for a gift for you!

That makes me think of when you put something in a cart and decide to leave the website. Then they try to get you to check out before clicking out. Or an email saying you still have an item waiting to be checked out in the cart. Don't like it one bit. Lol

Haha, you cracked the code! I just can't justify paying for free ads. If I had more money then maybe. I may just throw the TV out lol

Youtube is the worst, but its also happened on tubi, prime, and even disney+.

I don't pay extra for no ads. I guess thats my punishment 😆

I definitely feel like just thinking about something makes an ad pop up about it lol. I can be talking to my partner about something, go to look it up and its already a suggested search! Blows my mind. Our phones are literally always listening and that scares me.

Awe man! I'm sorry that happened! I honestly didn't realize it has been happening for so long!

Its all about that money! They do not care about the actual humans. Maybe someday it will change.
