I have noticed this sort of thing far too many times to ignore it.
Ad fingerprinting is extremely effective.
I have never noticed that because I never see ads on any of my devices
I've got ads and tracking pretty tamped down on my own devices, but it's honestly terrifying how often when I hang out with friends who have non-FOSS phones or Windows running in the room that Amazon is trying to sell me the topics of the conversations we were having. And it's really hard to have a conversation with someone who isn't as sensitive to this, to tell them that their devices and software are compromising my privacy, and to get them to understand that as the consent issue it truly is.
I have ads managed very well on my personal devices. I looked up camping stuff once on my work computer, and that is all I get on there now. Like, that's all they have on me, so that's what im going to get forever.
