I've never seen any evidence of that. I only get suggestions that
are similar to videos I watched.
I doubt google knows much about me, or their choice of adverts wouldn't
be so laughable. Two years I spent a couple of minutes on their search
engine (instead of DuckDuckGo) looking at garden shredders and got ads
that were dominated by shredders for months. This is a minor
improvement over ~15 years ago when I typed in "KDE packages fruit
salad servers" and got several years worth of soft-fruit ads - mostly
raspberries.
