Something really weird has just happened and I am trying to figure out HOW!
I have recently started watching 'Barnwood Builders'. I watch it via a Freesat PVR. The builders use chainsaws A LOT.
I have just gone on YouTube on my smart TV. As usual, the YT app on the TV suggested a lot of videos that I might be interested in based on what I have watched and searched for on the app. (I am not logged in so I am presented with different suggestions on the TV to what I get on YT on my laptop.) As always, I got programming videos, music videos, political videos etc.
Tonight, for the first time ever though, YT suggested that I might be VERY interested in chainsaws ... People cutting down trees with chainsaws, chainsaw reviews, builders using chainsaws, how to repair chainsaws ...
How the hell do Google know that I have been binge-watching a programme featuring chainsaws!
I have never searched for chainsaw videos and I have never searched for websites dealing with chainsaws. Until a moment ago, I had never even searched for info on Barnwood Builders either.
All I can think is that my Freesat box is telling Google my IP address and what I have been watching. If not, why does YT suddenly think that I have developed an interest in chainsaws?
