I think this is logical because when you mute your microphone, it's actually a physical mute you are doing, so it send nothing to the computer.

[@Nakilon]

The experiment shows that when they were spying they've used exactly this device, not an android in the pocket or something. At least if we assume this parameter was the same in both cases.

[@ninjakuben8217]

If you mute the microphone with the button on it the microphone is pretty much of so it's not up to the apps to decide if they still should listen or not. Therefore you should try to mute your microphone in the windows settings to see if Microsoft really disables any audio input when you tell it to.

[@khandragon7950]

agree.. The mute button on a microphone like you have, is a hardware cut off switch, so completely bypasses any settings that could be ignored by Microsoft, Google, Amazon, etc.. It is like unplugging the Mic completely.. Using the Mute in Windows Sound Settings COULD still be ignored like you posed as topic.. ;)

[@VidGaMeR777]

Isn't there a chance that since you read off all the ads in the control it hears you saying "car, Lexus, Ford, progressive" etc. It's not like it knows your reading it off the screen so it might keep doing car or insurance ads cause you keep mentioning it reading the ads already there. I think a better test would try not to say much of anything near your mic or phone (I know that's more difficult than I make it out to be) but maybe when doing the control just browse quietly, don't say headlines or what the ads on the screen are just take mental notes or in post do a tally then ramble about a topic clearly out loud then see if the ads change to what you talked about.

[@matthewtwots3376]

I don't want to be that guy, but there may be a difference between hardware and software mute features. Obviously if the mic hardware actually does disable audio, Windows wont be able to hear anything, but if in Windows you use the built in volume control to mute and it doesn't then that would be the problem. Wow, just randomly remembered this video and my comment. 2 years too late but I replied to who I could, and to clarify I was trying to say that muting the mic with the button may not do anything at all as it is hardware based.

[@RP944]

@@nickgreene1096 firstly, I should tell you that I commited a mistake in my previous comment, the initial one. It should be ''until the next comment'', which I edited. Now, what is considered to be on drugs? Well, this is a difficult question because it implies that we have a definition for what is a drug and what isn't a drug. Wikipedia says that ''is any substance that causes a change in an organism's physiology or psychology when consumed'' so that could be literally anything, even a simple glass of lemonade. What is being on a chair? Well, this one is easy. It's just sitting on a type of furniture named chair. Wikipedia says that ''Sitting is a basic human resting position. The body weight is supported primarily by the buttocks in contact with the ground or a horizontal object such as a chair seat. The torso is more or less upright'' and also says about chairs that ''a chair is a type of seat. Its primary features are two pieces of a durable material, attached as back and seat to one another at a 90° or slightly greater angle, with usually the four corners of the horizontal seat attached in turn to four legs-or other parts of the seat's underside attached to three legs or to a shaft about which a four-arm turnstile on rollers can turn-strong enough to support the weight of a person who sits on the seat (usually wide and broad enough to hold the lower body from the buttocks almost to the knees) and leans against the vertical back (usually high and wide enough to support the back to the shoulder blades). The legs are typically high enough for the seated person's thighs and knees to form a 90° or lesser angle.[1][2] Used in a number of rooms in homes (e.g. in living rooms, dining rooms, and dens), in schools and offices (with desks), and in various other workplaces, chairs may be made of wood, metal, or synthetic materials, and either the seat alone or the entire chair may be padded or upholstered in various colors and fabrics''. I hope this solved all your doubts, and have a nice day.

1. it may take time for the information gathered to be sent. 2. there are so many other advertisement places you can look. (such as youtube ads!) 3. they are always watching and listening. [ 3 ] stories of a little proof- 1. my husband went to a fast food place called Cook Out, paid by card, next day he kept getting ads for Cook Out while watching his youtube feed. 2. we have Netflix. I would always talk about how they could improve the viewing process. example- giving a "skip intro" option for shows, and other changes to make the viewing ore pleasant, easier and convenient. within a few weeks (sooner for some suggestions) my requested changes were made. started talking about buying a sprinter van ONCE! ads for them keep popping up for days on my computer before I actually started googling them. 3. I was just listening to a local radio station the other morning in my car. they were talking about people storming area 51 and aliens and whatnot. a woman calls in sharing about her dad and how his was something like a "blind airline attendant" of some sort. they would blind the workers on these private planes so they didn't know where they were going until they got there or something like that and they wouldn't know who was riding the plane. she starts talking about her dad and how he went there. and then she started getting into what he saw (unfortunately I didn't hear Exactly what she said because I was backing into my driveway and my six year old was trying to talk to me while I was trying my best to listen to what she was saying (I was very intrigued!) she was in the middle of her sentence WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN- this LOUD A^ POP came through the speakers! (we all got silent.) then the radio hosts started talking about "what was that?" "did you just hear that loud pop?" and they were just so creeped out about it. the call in woman started talking again: "yeah. I don't know what that was. I heard it too." radio host: "that's the government listening in on us. (them laughing) you start talking about what your dad saw and we get a loud pop on the phone right when you're about to tell us.(still chuckling in dismay)." the woman starts to talk again when her line gets cut off. they go to commercial and come back and DO NOT MENTION ANOTHER WORD ABOUT IT or ALIENS or AREA 51 AGAIN.-- LIKE WFT MAN! are you serious right now. everyone heard it, you talked about it, then when sh^ gets real you abruptly stop!?? the whole thing is just eerie as f^.. MY POINT- they ALWAYS listen; they ALWAYS watch; they ALWAYS track. even if/when you think you're safe: you're not.

Can we talk about the picture in his background which is changing all the time?

[@radvariable1921]

Did anyone see that the picture in the background changed from a dude with a drink, to Mark Zuckerberg? 😂

Your mic might be muted, but your cell phone could still be picking up audio. I got a conspiracy that would mess with some people's minds, what if big company advertisers made him make this followup video to show that ads don't listen in to muted mics, but they really do. Dun-dun-dun!

Yo no lie today I was talking with my brother about the legend of Zelda seires, and I went on you tube and saw adds about buying legend of Zelda books and merch

[@idku4602]

I was talking about a gaming pc boom add on youtube

[@gmcdenali7178]

I personally had my own experience with it. I recently bought a set of tires for my truck. i was looking for what to get before i got them, so I've been getting adds for tires. Just today, i got fed up with it and out loud, said, "why do I keep getting adds for tires, I already bought them." I didn't refresh the page or do anything and the tire add changed. I decided to test it, so I said, "I need tires now. i just bought this car and it needs tires and I need to find some." Sure enough, a couple seconds later, it changes to a tire add again. Also, prior to the incident, I disabled my all in one desktop's microphone and this still happened.

I’ve been watching these types of videos cuz yesterday I was on Sephora and I came across this silk pillow case that was a crazy amount of money and I showed my bf and we were talking about silk pillowcases. I never clicked on the actual item or searched for it we were just talking about it. Then today I was watching a KZbin video, about to scroll down to the comments and noticed an ad for silk pillowcases. I’ve never searched for those before and it made me wonder if my phone was listening to me.
