The chance that Google, for some reason, wants people to have babies, is significantly lower than the chance you just happen to fit some demographics cohort which is likely to have a baby, or to soon have a baby.
I don't know, it was really super weird how randomly it started shoving them in my face when it didn't previously.
I don't think Google gives a shit if I have kids, but the republican party has voiced concerns over "the domestic supply of babies" multiple times over the years and I wouldn't put it past them to give google "gratuities" to shove baby related ads on people in general, not just me specifically.
It's just a hypothesis I have about the sudden increase in baby related stuff. I'm not dedicated to the idea or anything, but it honestly wouldn't surprise me if that was the case.
