Not my title! I do think we are being listened to. And location tracked. And it’s being passed on to advertisers. Is it apple though? Probably not is my take away from this article, but I don’t trust plenty of others, and apple still does

      My big problem isn’t with the concept I could talk about buying parrot food.

      But there has to be a vendor out there that says hey whoever I’m buying this data from, I need to put an ad in front of parrot owners.

      These are going to be very high cost ads, so whatever products they’re going to sell you probably have a respectable profit margin or respectable expected lifetime value.

      Trying to trigger it on purpose, without any idea of who’s advertising or for what is somewhat of a fool’s errand.
