Quoting myself from December regarding grocery stores tracking and possibly selling your information to everyone:Pennywise the Frown posted:I hate having an app for loving everything. Or an account for everything. McDonald's is pretty expensive now but goons will be like "yeah just use the app and you get free poo poo sometimes." No. All of those fast food apps are just data harvesting devices. gently caress you. I don't know if it was just a coincidence but it was very noticeable.

Speaking of which, I really need to go there again. I haven't been there since I was a kid for a field trip. And they have a u-boat there that I absolutely have to see. I love submarines!

Pennywise the Frown posted:Yeah, no one is gonna call it that. The last time I went was in the mid-90s with some friends. We got lost walking there from our hotel because of a marathon blocking all the roads. We ended up in a neighborhood that had bars on all their windows. Walgreens looked like a military bunker. We found a taxi sitting on the road and the guy was eating lunch. We knocked on the window and his eyes went wide and told us "You can't be here, man. It's too dangerous, you gotta go." so we asked if he could take us to the museum. He did, and we were a LONG ways from the museum, and the neighborhoods we went through were abandoned and just completely run down. The museum itself was like the ghetto we just drove through. Everything was falling apart. They had a display of batteries and how they came to be. The batteries in the display were covered in that white acid foam crap, and it had run down the backboard and ruined the entire display. The computer section had an old IBM XT and not much else. It was SO sad. The submarine and space stuff was pretty cool, though.

Sentient Data posted:Lest you forget, https://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2012/02/16/how-target-figured-out-a-teen-girl-was-pregnant-before-her-father-did/?sh=61c24f516668 Note that this story was almost certainly made up by the advertisers trying to market their services, none of the information is verifiable other than one marketer's tall tale, and if you think about how people actually behave it sounds more and more bullshit. Other ad experts have said the unsourced story has no grounding. And applying any critical thinking, the story itself just doesn't make any sense on the face of it. >The latest mailer from target arrives, including deals on all sorts of things like wine glasses and baby stuff >the father opens it and starts reading it for deals on things >seeing an ad for baby stuff mixed in with the other target ads, he quickly looks at the mailing address and realizes it was mailed to his daughter instead of at him >he comes to the conclusion that the baby stuff, specifically, is targeted at his daughter based on some kind of advertising algorithm >he runs into a physical target location to complain to the manager about this because????????? >the manager decides to make a followup call to the psycho who came in person to the store and ranted about the advertisements he got in the mail It is utterly implausible as a chain of events, with the contrived setup only existing to get the payoff of 'our product knows this girl better than her own father!!!!!!!!', with a side of 'people get upset at ads that are NOT targeted'.  Similarly, Coca Cola advertisers created the myth that their ads created the modern Santa. Their job is literally lying to the public about how good things are, of course they'll make this poo poo up.

Wood fill. I swear, I used to go buy the stuff from the store for nice projects since it tended to look better and give a nicer end result than just mixing up sawdust and wood glue and now it's cake crackly garbage. I DON'T GET IT IT'S JUST FIBER AND GLUE FIX IT

I used to work for a company that did a lot of e-commerce and digital marketing research and all of their research kept coming back with the conclusions that people absolutely love personalized shopping/advertising experiences and personably-written marketing mailing lists. On one hand I want to say it was just bullshit self-congradulatory stuff but on the other hand I think the average consumer is dumb as hell and loves being told what to spend their money on.

Possibly there is a difference between what people imagine a hypothetical "just show me stuff I am interested in" shopping experience might be vs. how it works in reality.

Also, like, if I choose to go to Slickdeals to look for deals, if that's personalized somehow then whatever, because I'm deliberately choosing to look at products I might want to buy and I'm not being interrupted in the middle of something else that I wanted to be doing instead. It's like, OK advertisers, here's my 5 minutes of time I'm giving you today, show me what you got then go away.

It reminds me of that empty suit giving some kind of bullshit tech lecture talking about how he loves ads, he loves ads so much he has a notebook where he writes down all the good ad copy he sees on television. I wish I could remember where that was even from, because jesus christ I don't think I'd ever seen a more vacuous human. I think it might have been gaming related?

You do see people say "why the hell is [item] being advertised to me?" sometimes so I guess if you're utterly depraved you might interpret that as "I wish ads were more targeted."
