Hmmm. As crazy as it sounds, I've been freaked out by this recently too.
I recently had to get glasses due to degraded eyesight. I never posted anything about it on social media because quite frankly i was embarrassed by it. Never did any searches etc. Just went to my optometrist, did the test and got my glasses.
Whenever friends see me working, or out and about (where i usually have my phone with me), they usually comment "oh, you have glasses now!" Or something equivalent. I usually respond with a light hearted "oh yeah, i am going blind these days" or something along those lines.
Well dang - my Facebook feed is full of ads for optometrists and lasik surgery etc. these days!
Let me reiterate, i have never mentioned my affliction on any social media channels, nor done a search for anything related to my failing vision. The coincidence is spooky.
- brandon272 10y agoI have always seen ads for glasses. Didn't actually notice them until I actually got my first pair.
- err4nt 10y agoMicrophone could be one possiility, what about additional knowledge from GPS (knowing you're at a location people have checked in on Facebook as being at the optometrist/glasses store, as well as being in locations where people post about such things without checking in. With as many different users doing as many different actions as Facebook can see, it wouldnt take much to piece it together.
