    You know these algorithms are designed for predictive advertisement based off your previous activity. What is likely going on is this:

    10,000 users who searched these terms also decided to search or want this “thing” next.

    “Woah, it’s reading my mind! How did it know I was thinking about that?!”

    It’s funny, nobody pays attention when the algorithm guesses wrong, we only notice it when it’s freakishly accurate.
