I have been noticing a pattern happening to me. I can be thinking about something in my head and next thing you know, I see the same thing flashed before me. Here is one example.
I was walking around at Pavillion last week and saw this fashion brand called COS. I walked past the boutique and thought to myself, “Oh, I didn’t know COS is available in Malaysia”. Later that day, when I was scrolling Facebook, guess what? Cosstores ad popped up. I quickly took a screenshot.
Can Facebook read my mind?
The second example is this – I was chatting with my friends on Whatsapp and one of them was telling me about pigmentation on her face and etc. Then later that day, I saw an ad on Facebook on pigmentation. Coincidence? Can Facebook ‘read’ what we wrote on Whatsapp?
The next example was really bizarre. I was whatsapping missy and asked what she would like to have for dinner last Sunday. I asked if she would like to go to Down To Bones, a restaurant nearby for dinner. Guess what again? Later that night, I saw Down To Bones ad on Facebook! I have never seen their ads before.
Does Facebook have bots that crawl our phones and find what we are talking about and then show us ads on the same topic so that we will click on them? C’est très bizarre! What is going on here? Is this the work of the Universe?
