Some of my co-workers were discussing a show that I haven't watch. I never even looked up anything related to the show. A day later I had a suggestion to watch the season finale for it... I mean it could just be coincidence, but I honestly wouldn't be shocked if they were somehow always listening via phones and whatever other devices.
im pretty sure one thing they do is give you recommendations based on the people who are often in your geographic area. So if your coworkers watch the show and youre always near them, they'll give you recommendations based on that. When my sister comes home from college I always get Taylor Swift and Disney Channel type recommendations, then when she leaves they miraculously disappear
Ad tech companies use this technique less because advertisers are worried about ads that are too personal or creepy. Disney spends billions on ads and doesn't give af so ad tech companies will use whatever means necessary to pad their numbers.
