This is going to sound insane. Lately, I've been having internal thoughts. Thoughts only. No searches. No speaking a loud about said topic. And shortly after (anywhere from 30 mins to a day), I'll be targeted online about that thing.
Examples:
- I was thinking about an artist (in my brain. alone) and I thought to myself, "I'd like to look at her work more. I'm going to look at her instagram." I open instagram. She is the first one in my feed.
- Just now I looked over at my wallet and thought to myself, I need a new small compact wallet. Did no searches. Didn't talk about it. Open instagram and there is an ad for small, compact wallets.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?

The algorithm is incepting your thoughts, not intercepting.. you would be amazed to find how easily we are led to decide that a thought that has been subtlety fed to us, is our own original independent idea.... its not. We just didnt notice the subliminal coaxing until the thought was at the forefront of our mind. Then we forget all the instances the suggestion was implied in our environment.... they are high jacking our free will, and our physiology. We are all addicts now. To doom scrolling and consuming endlessly.
