Google too. I bought a Pixel 2 online, from Google, signed in to Google. Now I see ads on Google ad networks all day long to buy a Pixel 2. It has been 5 months of daily ads from Google to buy the phone I just bought. Ridiculous.
Ad networks are a clear financial win for AI - but they also show the ridiculousness and are clear windows into the failures so far.
