Yesterday, I saw some of the strongest firsthand experience that smartphones are spying on us I have ever seen.

My wife handed me her phone to show me an Instagram.
The next video auto plays, "I didn't know you were into retro gaming" she isn't, she hasn't ever been, I have no idea how it knew she handed her phone off to me, or that I was into retro gaming, I don't have much of any Internet presence, I never use her phone nor insta gram, her hobbies barely align with mine and especially aren't in the retro genre.
I used to think there were better ways to track people and they didn't need up to the second data to properly advertise to someone, but that changed my mentality entirely.
