yeah it makes a relationship web for you based on who is also in the same location and figures out who you spend time with, then recommends similar products. this is probably also how it keeps doing the “people you may know!” thing for sex workers and clients even if people are careful with online identities

So it’s not just “it’s cold out”. It’s “it’s cold out” coming from Inhofe.

Homora Gaykemi posted:oops, it was toothpaste, not shampoo. here's the thread my favorite thing ever was leaving work early one day due to an upset stomach after telling a coworker I should get some Pepto bismol. As I was going home I was stopped at a red light and a YouTube ad came on to let me know that Pepto bismol was on sale at Walgreens. Coincidentally there was a Walgreens just through the intersection. That was the day I uninstalled the Facebook app.

Example in my last comment. I never searched for anything related to my stomach discomfort. I only mentioned Pepto Bismol aloud to a coworker while my phone was on my desk.

The hot take is he highlights just one browser and the fact that it's Chinese.
