I think tik tok is using my camera to watch me and give me videos based on what I’m doing.
I’m a pretty anxious and paranoid person so this has always been a worry in the back of my mind. You always hear about people saying something out loud and then getting ads for it, but this is different. And in my opinion much more unnerving.
For reference, these instances were within the same week.
I was scrolling thru tik tok, and as I was doing so I was pulling mucus from my eye (gross, I know, it’s a super bad habit) but then all of a sudden AS MY FINGERS WERE IN MY EYE I scroll with my other hand and it’s a video of a guy saying “GET YOUR HAND OUT OF YOUR EYE RIGHT NOW” those were literally the first words he said, and then he went on to explain how mucus fishing can permanently damage your eyesight and not to touch your eyes. I took a step back and immediately stopped, and kind of thought to myself “what a weird coincidence…”
But then it happened AGAIN! I was in bed on my side with my phone in front of me scrolling thru tik tok, and suddenly my neck got a weird pain sort of on the side beneath my ear. I kid you not, as I am putting pressure on this sore spot and massaging it, I scroll and a video of a guy saying “does that one sore spot on the back of your neck right under your ear keep bothering you?” (Literally the exact place I was rubbing with my phone facing me) And then went on to say how it can line up with pots symptoms and bla bla bla.
Ive searched on tik tok about pots before, so now I’m thinking they’re using a mix of my camera+microphone+search, watch and like history to build my for you page?
Does anyone else have a similar experience?
