I really don't understand it. I don't think I've ever seen an article content in Facebook, it's usually just a link. And why would having a link to the actual website be something to pay for? Because people don't read articles anymore and only the title? If so, that's not Meta's or Google's fault...

Last one is the only one that's out of place to me. They all have counter clockwise when solo mode, when 2 modes available, low is at the bottom and high is at the top, makes sense, but the last one is different.

Also, why would it be Low? They're using 2 letters, Hi and Lo are different enough to identify. I'd have to check mine, but using Hi/Lo seems normal.

That's a few references I've seen regarding aliens today. I'm feeling out of the loop, would anyone explain?

There are always a lot of reasons to see what we see on ads and suggestions without them having to listen to us. Try to do the test and talk about something completely random to you around your phone. Chances are you'll never get ads about it.
The algorithms are based on so many criterias and are so freaking good that it seems like the simplest answer is to listen to us. But with GPS, relationships, history, habits, emails/sms/messages, etc. it can be freaky how good the predictions can be. They are already "listening" in so many ways that are cheap to do, constant audio streaming is absolutely not cheap and not required.

Or that people around had already been googling this question very recently.

Taking the time to refuse all the cookies, every time I visit a website.

Going through all of Google, Facebook and other services settings to disable every tracking possible, especially towards ads.

I can tell that ads are less and less relevant.
