So I had a verbal conversation with a coworker yesterday and now I'm getting fed very specific ads. No possible way it's accidental. I have most of the microphone access to apps limited, I have Google assistant turned off and no VPA setup in my home. I use a Oneplus 9 pro, does anyone have recommendations on how to further root cause this or just par for the course for using any standard android OS? Have other folks had similar experience after locking down their stock phones?

It was an article not an ad. And the specifics of oil age vs millage is pretty damn obscure in my opinion especially for a guy who works in tech.

    Well, I'm not going to downvote you because I think it's a good contribution and conversation, but I do think that is a coincidence. They know your interests and stuff and it's black magic how good they are now of making these coincidences happen, but it's not the mic. To much data to process and send
