What does everyone think of rumors that messenger targets advertisements based on private conversations? Facebook denies it but there's a lot of anecdotes (my own included) and experiments on YouTube that say otherwise
I think it very often looks that way because lookalike audiences have gotten really good. The real issue is that many, many websites have some analytics connection to Facebook, so ads have a lot of data to target you with.
