I still don't think companies serve you ads based on your microphone

Motive, means, and opportunity. Which are missing?

You think a company that builds iPhones in China in a building with nets to catch people who attempt suicide is doing this by accident?

It happened to my wife in realtime within the last year while I was in the room. You think they accidentally left it on? C'mon, man. I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you; let me know, it's on sale just for you.

All some people care about is money, and they rule the top of this country, and probably damn near every other one, too. C'mon, man. Are you being naive on purpose, or is it just a side effect of your willful ignorance?

Im not the guy, but you never bother trying to prove anything; you just ramble about vibes most people will implicitly agree with. “Oh boy rich people sure do suck and companies sure do suck.” “Aww geez my wife got a targeted ad.” I loosely figure that they spy too, but I expected a better showing from HN in rebuttal to the article. If it’s so damn obvious then show some actual proof.

Hey if you dig something up I’m happy to hear it. You’d be confirming my suspicions.
