Where do you go to find the torrent to begin with? At a guess there's a tracker of some sort on the site you're using to search for the torrent. |

You're not that unique. Google's recommendation algorithms can read your mind. Even if you're not logged in, you've probably given cookie consent, which allows Google to track you for personalisation. |

Last week I searched for rugs on my work computer and my girlfriend started getting adverts for them on her phone. They know everything. |

Oh I don't know, for all the talk of Big Algorithm it gets more stuff wrong than right even when the data collection is very explicit. Hence why you can never find that fucking song on HerTrombone (don't even get me started on when it shows related artists) and why Rainforest's product recommendations are comically wrong - it assumes I have young children and also that I would be interested in women's clothing for example. |

OP here. When I wrote this I deliberately used fake examples of television I enjoy, literally shows I have always despised and would rather die than watch. Today on my way back from work I was watching some music videos on the bus and Big G started recommending clips of Everybody Loves Raymond. I do occasionally browse here on mobile but explicitly made a point not to today just because I suspected something like this might happen. Also I have never actually posted here from my phone. |

Big G.jpg This infograph might give a cursory overview on what might be infered from data collections. Say if Google has name, gender and location data they could likely infer you're part of XYZ demographic according to their other data, which would indicate % likelyhoods of offer grouping and all that jazz. |

Google now makes far better use of current context and linking that to related content than they used to. If you pay attention to autocomplete after only a couple of letters you'll see that it suggests things related to the very thing you've just been doing. We're all familiar with "people who bought this item also bought" on Amazon, but not everyone might realise how well Google/YouTube now does that transparently but for web & video activity/search. |

springer.png I just tried it, and springer spaniel is one of the top results. I don't have any dogs, I've not searched about dogs recently, I haven't done any crosswords about dogs... so I don't see what's so creepy about it to be honest. |

Something about high-testosterone males being more likely to lose their hair early, high-testosterone also driving men to be more competitive/ruthless so likely to rise to the top quicker. |
