Comment on Ask HN: How does the Reddit iOS app get its content for targeted ads?parent

but when I saw these horrendous shoes

Had to look them up and you are correct. Will take a look at ads now.

Perhaps you are in some advertising group with your friend and see it because he bought them. This could have been associated by him being a contact. Could also be another app that has access to your contact list that shares ad agencies with reddit.

Not sure I can post a link but those are the shoes he had yesterday: https://www.sneakersnstuff.com/fr/product/54957/nike-air-for...

That's more likely what happened and not the microphone. I am kinda relieved by that so thanks. I overreacted.
