    I really don’t know how to feel about this, but honestly this is pretty crazy and not surprising in a way. Tell me your thoughts

    I mean I'm pretty sure there's a setting somewhere so Google doesn't give you ads based on your searches.

    Yea they might listen to you but that video seems more like a trick to get a viral video for views.

    This has already been debunked by another yt channel who performed the same experiment but with more controlled variables. I don’t have the link but you can find it easily.

    Edit rauno already found it.

    None of these tests are done in a controlled environment. Its all bait. I can actually speak that google is very good about user data

    Turns out myself and other users can't respond to this thread because of the word advertising. This is the logs from ublock origin.
