Youtube is listening to me. I was talking to myself(as I usually do) and I mentioned Jeffery Dahmer, then I suddenly get a youtube short on Jeffery Dahmer. How the fuck is this a coincidence?

I'm jealous. You have no idea how much I want somebody in my life who truly listens to me.

your tastes in videos aren't as unique as you think you are
i tried a fresh incognito instance without being logged in and I searched up one of my favorite vtubers (smugalana) and suddenly I had neurosama, nuxanor, and kirche flooding my recommendations, oh gee how did it know I watch all 4 of these streamers?
because everyone who watches smugalana does.

it recommending jeffery dahmer videos is tied to something else you watch.

>>105677063 (OP)
A=you saying jeffery dahmer to yourself
B=youtube recommending a jeffery dahmer video to you

you are wondering how did A cause B - but instead, ask yourself, how did a third thing, C, cause both A and B - and google was aware of C and B.

I work in accounting and my co-worker the other day made a joke about money laundering. An hour later I had a YT video recommended about "How to Semi-legally launder money". It was a vid about how the rich get away with it, not an actual how to, but still.

Modern social media is a form of shadow work. Carl Jung said it best that modern society has a huge need for shadow work. You need to integrate the shadow anon, not let it control you.

>>105677579
samsung, iphone, lg, they all do that
idk, maybe the chinks dont bc theyre a state actor and so the "threat profile" is different
theyre still listening, but they listen for other stuff
or maybe they just dont fucking care and sell data like the rest
in any case, im totally amazed this is a discussion on /g/
fukken normalest of normalfags know this shit
fukken boomers watch aislop but they know about the pocket snitch

>>105677604
When you start using social media algorithms as a tool of shadow work you will realize that you will see your shadow in every day life. This will reverberate into ever lasting building of your consciousness and mental tools. You will also start to see yourself and others without any filter of delusion.

Why do mouthbreathers always think that this means Google cannot instantly recognize them?

Phone apps are listening to you and recording your position and other data. You can stop them from doing so by removing permissions and by removing your ad tracking ID

TV apps so that as well btw

Google is always listening. You just have to make sure to periodically yell at your phone like a schizoid, telling it to stop listening and it will stop for a while. You gotta make sure that it knows you're angry, otherwise it won't work.

They all have their secret ways of data mining you. They have absolutely no problem connecting your identity to whatever you searched up in an incognito tab.

just self host a SearXNG instance on a docker container and set your engines to google only
adjust microphone and location permissions across all devices
use pihole
never use social media unless for contacting family/friends
did these steps and noticed a huge decrease in OPs scenario

>>105677063 (OP)
if you have a cable box, or anything with a mic, it listens.

It would be more comforting to know that Google is just listening to you than knowing the actual reason you got recommended that.

jung is a pseud and so are you

>>105678415
Yep. They build such an accurate profile about you that they know what you want to buy before you do. They know when you need a new phone, when you're thinking about upgrading your computer, they probably know when you're thinking about going out to eat.

Nah bro listening to you to reccommend stuff is 2015 Alexa technology. We are on a different level nowadays. Think more of an autonomous algorithm running on supercomputers that has all your info, has you categorized in a bunch of lists and is subtly manipulating you through various feeds in different apps owned by the same corporations into searching what (((they))) want you to search and thinking it was your idea.
Youtube knew you were going to search about Dahmer even before you knew it.

>>105678432
You're projecting your inadequacies to understand the information you were presented with. That is the shadow. The undesirable, uneasy, nasty parts of you. The inadequacy, the vitriol, the anger and the resentment. It's easy to externalize those parts of you onto others or the world, after all it was me who made you feel this way, right?

Shadow work is hard, you need to face those parts of you and realize that you can integrate them into your ego, to realize that those parts of you have a purpose, place and time. That they aren't shameful or "bad", but that they should be able to serve you. You are not an animal pushed and pulled by impulses and emotions but a master of your mind and your actions, and when you realize that you become unstoppable in whatever goal you set for yourself.

Shadow work is also needed, for whole of society to function in ever changing world every single person needs to "face their demons" otherwise the society as a whole begins to crumble as we isolate ourselves in our dysfunction. Integrating our shadow makes us functional part of society. This is why shadow work is integral. This is what social media is doing by mirroring the deepest ugliest parts of you. This is why it irks you so deeply when social media mirrors you back.

This is also why you had a need to insult me or Carl Jung to call us pseuds. You felt personal direct connection with this information, an intellectual standoff where "someone is above" and "someone is below" intellectually, and they're faking their prowess.

Now tell me, did your father demean your curiosity and intellectual pursuits? Did you achieve his goals of intellectual pursuits like finishing college where he might have failed it?

you have too many things on wifi with location services on (probably set to precise)

i suggest you speak in a constructed language they don't know about next time.

You think this is enough to outsmart Google?

Skinner and Kahnemann disagree.

>Integrating our shadow makes us functional part of society.

1000% cuck ideology.

>>105677884
Most /g/tards are too stupid to look through settings. The idea that their phones are listening in the background is still just a theory to them.

>>105680646
Misunderstanding. Integrating the shadow allows you to use it. Bad parts of you get used to operate in the society freely upon your own conviction and will. Society shames and punishes our natural aggressive and sexual natures, when integrated you learn to use them to propel yourself out and above society. Being a free agent that can use morality/culture for his betterment instead of being a slave to it.

>>105680563
Skinners and Kahnemanns experiments and theories were built on animals that lacked theory of mind, therefore they aren't transferable to humans. Aside that, even few that were built on humans are faulty and can be broken with strong enough will and ideological backing. People are willing and able to sacrifice even their own lives for no apparent benefit other than ideological goals. Seeing humans as nothing more than animalistic automatons makes you more susceptible to negative form of nihilism where humans are easily controlled by carrot and the stick. This plays into the bigger role of modern psychology (which is populace control) but to have that kind of discussion is not for this time and place. What I suggest is that the idea of yourself that you project is truth, even if you put yourself down as nothing more than chemicals and patterns of evolution, but I give a possible (harder) path out, a possibility to create yourself on your own self image built on real interactions with the world.

>>105680785
Freud and Jung were charlatans and all what they did, was inventing a problem, only to sell their "solution" to gullible people.

>Hey bro, you need to integrate your shadow! Here, I can help you with my psychoanalytic wizard forces! But first, give your $$$
