Big Brother is Watching (and listening, and reading what you write)

It happens.
You click on an advertisement and suddenly your feed is filled with that ad and other similar ads.
You have a conversation about a product or vacation and start to see ads for that product or for travel on your phone or social media feed.

Yesterday I wrote about running out of coffee.
Today this pops up in my Facebook feed: Bottomless
Coincidence? 
I think not.

I suppose it's a good idea and product, but...
I know when I need coffee. (The 454g I bought yesterday is nine days of coffee.)
I have been hesitant to subscribe to coffee delivery in the past.
I find most coffee subscription plans to cost more than I usually spend of coffee.
So...no thanks, creepy coffee company.
