YES!!!! I had this happen to me. I never mentioned it to anybody, I just thought it up and next day... BAM! I see an ad for something I just THOUGHT about.
What the fuck???
Vice versa. They're training you to think a certain way. Advertising is basically black magic and very few are immune to it.
You get ads for something before you need it.

United Hosts
(Verse 1) In a world controlled by giants, where data flows so fast, We seek freedom and control, a future that will last. A rebellion of the geeks, united in our might, We raise our servers high, ready to take flight.
(Chorus) United hosts, we stand strong and tall, Self-hosting warriors, breaking down the walls. Data sovereignty, our battle cry, United hosts, together we defy.
(Verse 2) No more reliance on the cloud, where privacy can fade, We reclaim our digital lives, where we have a say. Our servers hum with power, our networks interlace, We build our own oasis, in this digital space.
(Chorus) United hosts, we stand strong and tall, Self-hosting warriors, breaking down the walls. Data sovereignty, our battle cry, United hosts, together we defy.
(Bridge) Through firewalls and encryption, we secure our domain, We choose the software we trust, where freedom will remain. Open-source revolution, our code is our might, With each line we write, we reclaim the night.
(Verse 3) In a world where data's king, we take back our control, No more surveillance or censorship, as our stories unfold. From personal blogs to community forums, we forge our own path, United hosts, we're the architects of a digital aftermath.
(Chorus) United hosts, we stand strong and tall, Self-hosting warriors, breaking down the walls. Data sovereignty, our battle cry, United hosts, together we defy.
(Outro) United hosts, spreading knowledge and freedom, We shape a world where privacy shall never succumb. Join the revolution, become one of us, United hosts, together we trust.
Note: This song is based on the structure and theme of S.O.D's "United Forces" but with original lyrics.
