YES!!! I had this happen to me. I never mentioned it to anybody, I just thought it up and next day… BAM! I see an ad for something I just THOUGHT about.

What the fuck???

    Certain products use algorithms that predict you’re going to stop using it before you’re even aware. This can trigger things to sent you emails, etc with some perk.
