The majority of people who use the Internet do so directly or indirectly through Google services. They use Google search, YouTube, Android phones, have a Gmail email account, and more.
The same for those using mobile phones with an operating system Android which is also owned by Google. Especially if they are permanently connected to their accounts for convenience.
You may have heard that everything you do on the Internet is recorded and forms your personal profile. A profile that shows what you are interested in, where you go, what you are looking for and much more. By utilizing this profile, at best you will see ads about topics that interest you.
