Ummm, my phone is stalking me?!

[DeadSouls]

Random fucking advertisement I came across on Instagram now?! Has anyone else seen this? What.

 

[Dayrain]

@DeadSouls Idk. Phones are stalking, yes. Also Meta (Instagram) changed their privacy and advertising policies very recently and not in favour of you. Methylene Blue is the antidote for SN, do you mean that? Make sure the screenshot is safe to post, I'm not familiar with Instagram, but it contains a profile picture...

 

[DeadSouls]

Of course I mean that.

Alright, trimmed away the excess.

 

[moribundwhispers]

do you use an android phone?

 

[DeadSouls]

Yes. I have never seen an advertisement for this before. And am not at all new to researching,etc.

 

[Pale_Rider]

Aint modern technology great!

 

[DeadSouls]

So intrusive. :p

 

[rainwillneverstop]

Most social media apps, and sites save a lot of data on you, which is then used for advertising. Unfortunately pretty 'normal.'

Welcome to surveillance capitalism. I hope you enjoy your stay :)

 

[locked*n*loaded]

Switch your browser to a privacy-focused one, get yourself an ad-blocking addon for it, and another one that blocks at the dns entry point, stop using google, or bing, for your search engine, and you will be "stalked" no more.

I know, just strange seeing THIS as an advertisement.

I do not enjoy.
Ok, I know all about privacy, tracking,etc, but THIS in particular was a bit strange.

The cell phone always listens to you

I've been amazed for a long time now how the world in general didn't notice when all our privacy was taken away. Nothing is private. It's really annoying when the suicide prevention ads show up when I'm watching tv at home. And I try to be careful.

I opted out of personalized ads (on a different social media website) so I've only seen a methylene blue related one once from a different brand
I assume it's advertised these days because RFK Jr was caught taking it in liquid form on some jet I think a few months ago or a year ago but that is a pretty suspicious advert to get now that I know the context (antidote for SN?) especially if you don't look at political stuff or live in the USA

 

[DeadSouls]

Like I said, I'm SUPER AWARE of privacy or lack of it when it comes to technology,cookies, etc, and read about politics daily, but methylene blue!? That is quite a strange and startling thing to see advertised while scrolling cat videos, considering. Just thought it interesting to share with others who knows what it's associated with.

Stalk it back

Yep. Methylene blue has become popular amongst wellness gurus, who now believe that it has all these sorts of health benefits that it doesn't. There is a reason why methylene blue is only used under certain circumstances in medical settings, not that those guys care. Chubbyemu referenced RFK Jr's use of it in a video he made on methylene blue on his second channel.



He also made a video on a case study involving a father and son accidentally ingesting SN on his main channel as well:


I'm pretty sure it also stains your organs, so if RFK Jr were to have a brain, it might theoretically look like this:

Wow, interesting!

 

[anonymous2025]

I know I still get suggestions for things I've researched on Google and I tried to turn the ad recommendations off but my phone still wants to know what I'm doing. Lol

 

[DeadSouls]

Ugh! Even though we know it happens doesn't make it any less disturbing. Especially the one I posted!? Weird.

 

[Forveleth]

The fact every electronic device in existence is spying on everyone is not new. Why are people still shocked by this in 2025?

ngl kind of want to take this in case I get an autopsy. Would be fun to freak out the ME.

I should note that the staining isn't permanent. The body will eventually breakdown the methlyene blue and your organs will go back to looking normal. RFK Jr is regularly taking methylene blue, so it's likely that his organs probably looked stained all the time.

Who is shocked? You must be missing the irony...

Sorry, I sometimes miss irony/sarcasm, especially in text.
