> You can’t be 100% confident about what you’re saying

Yeah but I am.

If you tell me a story about your phone listening to you that you absolutely swear is true, I know you love the idea of conspiracy theories and would laugh at someone who believes in astrology. But they’re the same thing.

It’s fun to see coincidences. It’s fun to think you’ve outsmarted the man. But that’s all it is — fun.

It’s not real.

> Ad companies are the sleaziest of them all and I would not be surprised if they did stuff like this

OK prove it.

> It’s a bigger chance it happens than that it doesn’t, in my mind

OK, should be easy for someone to prove then.

Is it really more likely that this thing is happening that nobody has been able to prove or that people like to see patterns to explain the weird things in the world?

> I haven’t been able to catch it using mitm proxies

Shocker lol.

But should be easy for you to find someone who has caught them red handed, right?
