Mate I'm its even worse than we could possibly imagine by now.
~20 years ago, when smartphones were new and super expensive, I arranged to meet my friend using Facebook chat. I did not have a mobile phone at all, I used desktop PC to access it. While I was in his car we were talking about possible careers and I said i would probably enjoy being a teacher. When I got home and logged back in, every single banner ad was for teaching courses, teach English abroad, teachers wanted.
It definitely used his smartphones microphone to hear that there were 2 people in the car, and used the chat log to figure out it was me, and this was a long time ago.
We all know they're doing it yet there are 0 laws to stop it. Huh. Time to start axing data centers.
Out of curiosity: And you never researched any teaching topic before?
Nope, I was just desperate for something to say other than "I have absolutely no ambition"
