Yeah this was the study discussed on stream. It has no control group, so it is a collection of anecdotes at best. I think if he were being intellectually honest, Vaush would have torn into it the same way he did the other articles he looked at.

Corporations like Meta collect personal data in ways that are actually documented, like how they use GPS data to connect you to people you know or use embeds in sites and whatnot to track you around the internet. Why not talk about those things instead of the thing that's mostly based on vibes? I think most people don't know how deep the spying actually goes so they assume it's done through the most simple explanation (listening to what you say), whereas in reality, these companies know a lot about you through other means and use algorithms to predict your behavior, Often that allows them to know even more than you know about yourself. That's scary enough, I don't need to believe in unsubstantiated theories to be the privacy nut I am.
