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?
You’d think so, except that would call attention to how bizarre their product (expensive ai-generated cartoon porn? That’s what it looks like anyway…) really is
It’s like getting a zero on a true false test - even someone who doesn’t speak the language would be scoring 25-75, it would take an expert to score a zero.
