Odds are your phone is on the Wifi. Linked through IP. Now you get ads for Stranger Things on your phone. It doesn’t need to listen because everything is so leaky. You are linked on so many devices.
Yeah, Netflix knows I’m watching Stranger Things. But afaik they don’t sell that information. And even if they do, there’s still reason for this company to try to get it themselves for cheaper. And they know something else about you based on these crappy apps they’re embedded in. So that’s all extra data points they can cross reference and get even more data.
