"Google is very clear that it doesn’t monetize your email content: “We do not scan or read your Gmail messages to show you ads.“"

In critiquing another writer's work I typed into my Gmail message:

"I don't want to nitpick, but..."

Within minutes I started getting ads for head lice treatments.

I have seen a strong correlation between my google searches and advertisements. As an experiment, I did some google searches for camping equipment on an incognito browser, the only time I searched for camping equipment. (My wife hates camping.)

Son of a gun, I never got a single ad for camping gear.

LOL! Try telling them about a pain in the ass.
