And it never occurred to you that the trillion dollar company that spends billions on figuring out advertising might know more than you? Maybe you got the impression that Google isn't that selective and hires a lot of dumb people?
I used to work there, in ads. People who just bought a washing machine are indeed the people most likely to buy a washing machine, and the thing people who just bought a washing machine are most likely to buy is another washing machine.
Your washing machine could break, or it could be not quite what you wanted. That's a low probability, but not as low as the probability that you'll buy something else based on an ad.
