I’m looking more for an explanation as to why this happens as opposed to how to stop it, because i thought pihole would stop such things (dont ask me why I thought this).

I understand that ads on platforms like Instagram, Youtube, or even Reddit are served by the same servers as the content itself, but why is it that when i search for something or visit a certain website, I start to see ads for those specific companies/items on my feed.
