At least they're telling you. There's also a lot of hidden surveillance in stores - they've done it with Bluetooth and cameras for some time. Things like monitoring how long you look at products and evaluating your reactions to displays.

I probably should. I only meant to point out that all of their elaborate spying and analysis supposedly for advertisement targeting is not very effective, in my case.

That's answers 'why do i see ads at all' but not 'why those ads'.

Why do I only get ads about "Heart Doctor BEGS Americans to stop doing this with their blueberries"?

This isn’t accepted there. Just some loser troll looking for attention.

I thought I was hip to discover Pu-erh at my local
Coop… then I met this guy who had a whole box of special bricks, like “this is some 1991 white… you gotta try this one…”

The last thing I want is to talk to a computer. Buttons are fine. The roboto phone customer service is bad enough.

Every time (almost). I’ve received it back maybe 2/10 times and it seemed amazing. Even when it’s a “good” landlord, you find out at the end what they’re really like.

I was in the ICU one time and they kept taking blood, so I mentioned something about vampires... I had to clarify that I was joking about blood, and not serious or delusional.

That makes sense. Avoiding censorship is reasonable. I was thinking some people did it to avoid triggers, as if seeing 'r*pe' or 'k!ll' isn't the exact same thing as seeing the words spelled out.

When something significant does happen or come to light, they'll spend the day discussing something irrelevant and distracting like Hunter Biden.
