What I want to know is why when I’m talking to my wife in the car about buying new shoes do I get a YouTube ad that evening about new shoes, when I never got that kind of ad before.

Are our phones listening to us while we talk in the car, and then ads are generated from that?

I’d really like to know the answer to that question.

Edit: fixed typo, shoes, not shows.
