No. We've definitely mentioned out loud things we've never searched for or even entered into a phone or computer, either before or afterwards, and they've shown up in our ads within hours. It's happening at least once a week now. I'm confident it's not any kind of cognitive bias, and that it's just FB spying on us through our mics.
jjeaff didn't say you searched for or entered it into your devices, but that it might have been the devices themselves that first made you think about those topics.
