The listening ain't shit. We have been & continue to be programmed by these corporations. We are all on devices a lot like, all the damn time. The fact that they can hear us at all times is not what they care about. Do you really think some suit has time to tune in to all the people using devices to shop, just to see what they are shopping for so they can suggest Taco shells? I don't. That's just the stuff they want us to think about while they program us to want old El paso Taco shells, and iPhone 12's and TV with 10 million pixels (like it matters).
Nice post though, I hope it opens someone's eyes to the BS around us.
