I have nothing but anecdotal examples, but the amount of weirdly specific ads I've gotten related to shit I (or my partner) was just talking about the other day just keeps piling up.
The most noteworthy though was something I heard from an acquaintance. She has no interest in sports, doesn't watch them, doesn't search about them, doesn't care. One day she went to a gathering with her husband where most of the people there were watching the hockey game. In the days that followed she started getting ads (and, IIRC, even push notifications) about hockey
