Everything you say will be used to market against you. 💬

I get annoyed when every time I post something on the blog through the WordPress Android App my words are sold off and used to market various products to me on the internet. Walmart sends me emails related to products and topics I blog about, Facebook puts those items on the top of my feed, advertisements I see on the internet are related to my blog posts. I mean I guess it’s good that they’re serving relevant ads to me but it’s also kind of creepy to say the least.
