I washed my car this weekend and Amazon suggested more soap on sale… Jokes on you, I ain’t washing that car again for the next 6 months
My vehicle gets washed when it rains, and I live in the US southwest.

Do you wash your car every 6 months? You’ve gotta be rich! I wash my car only when I can’t recognize it by its color anymore.
I wanna be like the dude/gal at my college, who left their car parked under a tree for so long it became bird-poop colored.
Amazon started showing me ads for appliances and I’m worried they know something about my washing machine that I don’t.
Probably someone connected to you has been searching for appliances.
Often that’s how they guess you’re in the market.
Or they might just know you got a raise, are more of an impulse buyer in August or that one of your machines is nearing a possible end of life date.
Puts on tinfoil hat
There’s a good chance Amazon has been inside your house and inspected your washing machine without your knowledge or consent…
Is the Amazon in the room with us right now?
Time to watch repair videos in advance!
Targeted ads worked much better when they were about the page you were looking at.
That’s contextual advertising, and they can still do it without being blocked because it can be hosted directly on the site - but they don’t.
they’re acting like you have extra money to spend or something, they should know better
Like they are spending their money, and not advertisers’
I bought myself anew mirror for my bathroom and anew shower head and I’ve been getting countless ads for beauty products and treatments to look better and feel sexy. FYI I’m a 42 year old man that’s on the chubby side… really helping me out with my low self esteem there algorithm…😐
This isn’t a meme
I kinda like it when they recommend something I have no interest in, or even don’t know what the heck the thing is. I figure that is confirmation of how little they know.
Where are you seeing ads these days? UBO pretty much gets rid of it all for me
I know I’m winning when it serves an ad in a language I don’t speak
I get a lot of those. They also think I’m all types of colors and genders while having different sexual preferences.
For the last few weeks YouTube has been serving me ads for ladies Gillette razors. My Google profile shows I’m a 41 year old straight male. Most ads are totally not relevant but this one is… out there.
I block ads in most places so I very rarely see them at this point so I think this dumps me onto some junk category as when the occasional as does get through they’re nuts. Like this one I got earlier today:
And this is why I blew up in the YouTube feedback and moved to NewPipe
Marketing is all about explaining why it’s a good thing that your campaign have negative ROI and about taking credits for things that would happen even without the ads. The rest is hype.
I am convinced that about one-half the money I spend for advertising is wasted, but I have never been able to decide which half. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2022/04/11/advertising/
Personally, it has always struck me that half is wildly optimistic. Still, (frustratingly) it seems the case that some marketing is correlated with some success in business.
But that’s it, correlation. Giants with overwhelming distribution also have overwhelming marketing spent. And tons of leverage over smaller copetitors and parters that can be use to abuse them. There is a fairly good evidence that marketing works at awareness phase - as long as you need to inform people that you exist, it works. Once you pass this threshold marketing increase the sales, but not on the rate that justify the cost. Every natural experiment (when the ads were not launched by accident in some region or chanell) suggest brands like Coca-cola are loosing money on their marketing. It’s a chinken game mixed with the king is naked game, where no one want to be a guy who say “maybe you pay us too much”. Aka bubble.
FWIW, there’s no way JARVIS doesn’t rock a bleeding-edge filtration suite, but I feel ya on this every time I have to use someone else’s device.
FFS, humans. How do y’all live like that?! 🥹😱🤢
i hate eggs and regularly type/say that and always get ads for eggs
Must love eggs with how many times they type the word eggs!
Ah, no problem. They are also selling your data to companies planning to replace you at work and companies doing automatic target-determination for military all over the world.
