this always reassures me a little bit. all the tracking and targeting and whatever that we’re supposed to be afraid of on the internet, and they still haven’t figured out a better form of targeting than this.
The truly sad part is, it’s already enough to manipulate elections big time, juat loo at Cainbridge Analytica! :(

Reminds me how people who have been paying much more in rent each month for years, often decades, are constantly refused mortgages for being “high risk” 🤦
And then going into the negative on your credit card and paying it in time somehow makes you have good financial decisions.
That’s because if the rates suddenly go up, you won’t be able to afford the mortgage and you’ll go bankrupt. If your rent goes too high, you can just find a cheaper place.
But there are fixed rate mortgages.
That’s simply not true. The number one cause of homelessness in the US is a nationwide lack of affordable housing, including rentals.
That’s why uBlock Origin is the GOAT.
It more so pisses me off when I buy a really expensive item and Amazon is trying to sell me a second one.
Like ya, maybe I’ll consider getting another pack of pens, but I think I’m good on the GPU.
You need a toaster for every room!
I think it’s Nate Bargatzki who talked about how he bought a refrigerator and then Amazon kept recommending refrigerators to him. He said “I already solved that problem, Amazon. Remember? You were there”.
Interesting thing is they could do this smartly. You buy a refrigerator, and Amazon could keep track of average replacement age of that product, then about the time it’s due to be replaced, start sending you ads for another. That is when they would be useful.
Instead we get ads for the thing we just bought and I don’t understand why this practice continues. It can’t actually result in higher profits…right?
Whenever I would buy rabbit food for a rabbit I was taking care of I would always get ads for chinchilla food and food for other small mammals. Like, I’m not out here collecting animals I just got the one.
