MODERATORS
Some advertisers know their market and pinpoint, others just drag net to see what sticks. You're getting the equivalent of cold calling for ads. If you show interest in something even once, you're a target.
Edit: All advertisers are not geniuses. If they're serving you the same ad for a thing that is not consumable, then one of two things happened. First, their tracking pixel at checkout was not able to associate you with your purchase. Maybe they set it up correctly or there was an error. Maybe you saw the ad on your phone and bought on your computer without enough common data points to connect them both to you. Second, the advertiser may not have set their campaign to stop serving after you converted, which is a total waste of their money. Laugh at them.
