First you start out just looking at yards casually. A yard here and there. Then you think "Maybe I'll just plant a few seeds, nothing serious". Then a year later you turn around and realize you've got 4 acres of crisp fescue in need of a trim.

Hamill and Fisher got .25% of film profits going forward including rereleases and new editions and stuff. Alec Guinness got 2.25% and adjusting for inflation had made about 85 million dollars just for New Hope when he died.

So they got like $8m? Pretty sure Harrison Ford made more than that just for being in the Tom Clancy movies.

It does seem to be really sensitive. It seems to think I'm interested in golf, which as far as I can tell comes from two SB Nation videos and the one time I searched 'golf caddy' to find out if it meant the bag of clubs, or the guy that carries the bag for you.

Officially the guy's job is 'caddy', but people do unofficially call the bag a 'caddy', especially if it's got wheels or something to help you move it (it might be regional, but I don't think so). Officially the bag is just a 'golf bag', though, and that's the thing you'd have to search to go shopping for one.

It got my age and education right, but it also thinks I'm in a relationship (I need to stop talking about my girlfriend from Canada), that I like reality shows, and that I'm renting. The rest is just general things like 'Restaurants'. Yeah I like restaurants, who the hell doesn't like any type of restaurant unless they have a severe anxiety or eating disorder

Google's ad thing is completely worthless. It basically thinks I'm into everything. Like cargo trucks, agro chemicals, retail equipment, that I'm single and only have a bachelor's degree... I will tell you what is bad marketing, however. As a bit of background, I'm MtF trans (but it took me forever to admit that) so I relatively recently recently changed my gender on various things. Spotify was one of these things. When you do that, instead of LOUD ADS ABOUT MANLY BBQ you instead start getting ones about babies crying and baby insurance and baby powder and it's like, what the gently caress. It's like women aren't meant to have any interests that aren't babies. At least the companies that advertise on Spotify seem to think so.

I ran the Ad-Nauseum extension for awhile on Chrome, and had all the tracking bullshit turned on for Google; instead of just blocking ads, that extension clicks on every ad it blocks. They had me pegged at the wrong age, and interested in random poo poo like country music and parenting (I hate country and have no kids). Google banned it from their store, you had to install it in developer mode, but I don't think it works with newer versions of Chrome (the ones that disabled most ad-blocking extensions).

Looking through my Google ad profile I get the distinct impression Youtube is a much more valuable tool in harvesting data than search history. It knows what kind of games I like, what car I drive, what pets I have and a whole lot of other miscellaneous things I like. Meanwhile all the things I can pinpoint to search data are obviously useless for advertising purposes, like oh yeah I'm a huge exchange rate enthusiast because I google what X sum in euros is in USD a couple times a week. Also it thinks I'm into 'golf equipment' which I can only assume is it being confused about me looking at the Volkswagen Golf.
