    I’ve had things like this happen, and I always suspected it was Facebook itself doing it, but now I think it’s also likely its something else feeding info into an ad system that then shows the ad on Facebook.

    Every now and then I’ll just blurt out random things I want that I’d never want to see if I can trigger getting ads for it. Hasn’t happened in quite awhile now, probably because restrictions on doing it are getting better.
