It is 100% happening. In the same way Reddit gives you curated posts using some sort of AI trickery. I am guessing it is some sort of advertising tracker feedloop from the ISP feeding your data to advertisers and it getting looped back to you. And these posts seem inorganic, either created by bots or cherry-picked based on your viewing habits to be shown to you.
You will not stifle my question with your redditor bot "this isn't happening" nonsense.

It does sound like apophenia is more likely. Your Reddit feed may be personalized but the 4chan one is not. And maybe you are not as unique as you think in what you consume. Spend enough time with the hive mind and you become it.
Very likely the same way that targeted advertising is carried out, which most certainly does occur. Also, 4chan has a history with law enforcement, including the FBI, and the military. Moreover multiple studies have been carried out by academia including by the Israeli military in regard to demographics. The point is that an entity like Palantir could be applied to reduce hate speech and violence. Rather than serve an ad it uses AI to generate a post that is humorous yet very curated in an intrusive insidious fashion.
No it isn't. You're suffering from a form of apophenia.
This isn't happening.
> How is the data obtained?
The web is a big plac, but you're spending too much time online andhaving repeat interactions with the same media. You need to spend time away from screens and with other people IRL.
> Is there a way to block it?
YES! Never visit 4chan again and spend way less time browsing aimlessly online, and not only will this problem stop - but many other issues in your life will likely resolve.
