This is some next level shit. Using Firefox, don't use google or have a Microsoft account on my PC. Use privacytools.io methods in order to increase privacy and security. Also use tools such as O&O Shutup to get rid of prying windows services. No emails for those services are tied to anything else, completely random and throwaway. Absolutely 0 social media. Holy shit dude.

Only thing holding me back is gaming. Linux just aint there yet.
Yeah it's crazy. It should be illegal.
Its called Tergeted Marketing is a Thing since 2009... Why so surprised? Since Facebook got traction this kind of shit bruteforced itself into society without anyone raising a voice.
EDIT: Look up the Term "Big Data"
Yeah but after taking such drastic measures to ensure privacy and such a thing doesn't happen. Following all the recommendations of professionals. And it still gets through despite having no ties through services or matching emails. On an average users PC I would understand. But this? This is insane.
How so? Coorporations saw that there was money to be made, Gov Admins did not care and we, the people became the "Product" itself. /s
I am with you on this, but this our sad reality now. There is too much money in it to stop it now.
I'm just more interested in knowing how they achieved this so I can try to put an end to it on an end-user basis at least.
You'd have to find out wich services each site uses individually to track your data and put it behind firewalls, or better yet, if possible, disable them.
EDIT: Reddit is a good example, just track it and you'll see 13-23 different services tracking and interfacing with your Apps
