Anecdotally, as a user, I actually noticed this two weeks ago when certain ads started to feel like they were following me around in other subreddits. It creeped me out enough and was annoying enough (ex: I don't want to hear about tech jobs when I'm browsing my sports subreddits; it reminds me of work) that I finally unwhitelisted reddit. Prior to this, I had reddit as one of the very few whitelisted sites on my adblockers because I felt like the advertising was in good faith. That it was actually pretty relevant sometimes. It's sad to read that I wasn't just being paranoid.
