In the absence of flairs, questions requesting more thought-out answers can be marked by putting [SERIOUS] in the title.

Most likely the change here is that you're now noticing these items where you previously didn't. This is a documented psychological effect.
People often look at a car they like and suddenly see that same model of car all over. People didn't suddenly buy those cars to drive around for you, this isn't the Truman Show. You're just noticing them where before you didn't even register them as anything other than a backdrop, a random blade of grass.
Almost certainly this is what is happening.
Most closely the baader-meinhof phenomenon.
