I keep getting ads that blast right out of the gates saying “my husband prematurely ejaculates…” in the middle of the day. Or “problems getting rock hard?” I got my kids next to me. Like WTF? If it’s supposed to profile me, it’s broken. I don’t need or want ED pills and even if I did, why are the ads so crass?
It has to be. When I turned off the ad personalization on mine it spammed me with the most annoying TikTok ads ever (literally only tiktok and the occasional Uber ad, nothing else, wtf?) until I broke down and turned on Adblock
No, that story wasn’t about the power of data. It was a young woman using the family computer to browse Target for baby stuff because she was pregnant. And then Target sent emails with baby stuff.
So it’s more like: the internet knows you are pregnant before you tell your dad.
Also warehouse operators can usually tell, when a woman/employee is pregnant even before she knows, because it will actually show in their working statistics
I’ve heard that not just from one warehouse manager.
They know fucking before you do, because of the data.
That’s a hard thing, if you don’t have any labour protection laws

But god forbid a youtuber makes a dick joke.
“You don’t want personalized ads? Ok, have some dick pills.”
“DICK PILLS DICK PILLS DICK PILLS”
Ooooooooh, is that what that is!? Malicious compliance? That’s bullshit if true.

Why on earth would you have adblock turned off in the first place?
Apparently Walmart can tell a woman is pregnant before they know themselves, they do such extensive data mining around what people purchase.
Maybe google knows your future…

I’m sure walmart is able to, but the canonical example is target.
Um, the second (non-ad) link kind of refutes the claim
Ah thanks, I’m sure that’s what I was thinking of.

They know you’re a woman and your kids are there. They’re trying to get you to buy the ad free subscription, lol.
