How??? I haven’t typed a word about it in my keyboard. Haven’t watched the series either. How did they associate me with it at all?

    I wouldn’t read into it too much. Stranger Things was just released on Friday, so Netflix is probably doing an ad blitz. Perhaps you have other demographic data that suggests that you might like it?

      No, I’d say it’s just I didn’t know about the Friday release… Although I’ll watch out in case I’m just becoming paranoid. Thanks!

        Idk where you even see those ads, I run with lineageOS+microg, firefox+ublock origin and SearX and I literally don’t even see ads anywhere.

          No, they aren’t ads. They’re more like recommended stories. But still personalized.

        Me too, except for google services. I also try to disable ads and recommendations of any type. But as someone pointed out, we can’t rule out coincidence with this.
