I'm a juggler, I mean

This article about a person who bought an urn online is hilarious. Amazon thinks I'm a serial killer now (cracked dot com)

Yep. First episode iirc

“Oh you’re looking for a red KitchenAid blender type # 5KSB2073EER? Great! Here’s that 4 CD set of traditional Turkmenistan folk music you wanted.”

Not until I finally buy something do I get floder with the right ads, at which point those ads are pointless.

For all the data they have on us they sure are pretty ass at utilizing it.

That's because what you're searching for is what you definitely want, so they know you're likely click/buy it. But if throw a bunch of crap that you maybe might want before you get to it, maybe you'll buy some of that too. It's like how supermarkets throw a bunch of junk food in a checkout lane, maybe you'll get tempted while you're forced to stand there even though you just wanted to buy laundry detergent.

There are multiple report voice record not even needed. Can infer behaviour and conversation without. Which honestly even scarier.

I still think it's bogus unless I see clear proof of it. That would imply your Instagram app somehow needs to bypass the kernel which let's the system know when the microphone is being used (some OS let's you know when mic or app is accessed real-time). That seems like an awfully open backdoor to microphone access.

what are the chances I need to stop at the paid restaurant when I am trying to get to another restaurant in 20 minutes?

That's not the purpose though. This puts this other restaurant in your head for some other time. You may think you're not actually affected by this tactic, but decades of research shows that, even when aware of this, it still fucking works.

Those are the five shitty jobs that paid for advertising.

I dunno about bedazzeld, but ummm... 👀

I think them having all this info about you, is a way to get advertisers to pay them more for the targeted ads.

It's not to help you or the advertisers, but themselves.

And I assume not a single advertiser has gone up to them with a well grounded: "bruh, dafuq are you doing showing fridge ads to the guy that just bought a fridge from us... that's not what we are paying you for."

Because they get paid to send ads to people who might be interested in Dishwashers.

Google/Instagram/Whatever (generally) doesn't make money when you buy a dishwasher.

I've actually turned off my autocomplete lately. It's become too annoying.. I'd rather make "your fingers are too fat"-mistakes than all the "God" and "ducking" every time. People only have to understamd about 80% of the words you write in order to understand the message. Si, a swnwnve kike thud id not thw ens og the wprld.

They already accomplished that, phones in like 16 had chips that were capable of doing it all on device without needing the cloud, which isn't profitable.

You must never imply ownership of the dildo.
