    Maybe they increase the likelihood weight of ads you’ll see from headphone companies, or groups in that space.

    It’s also just straight up a datapoint about you that someone out there will pay Facebook to collect so they can profile you and upsell you on more shit.

    That’s how all this crap works unfortunately.
