    Mine just says I like analog and vintage photography stuff and lacy and shiny clothes. Neither of which are very shocking.

      Yeah, mine was just wrong. It says “likely lives in name of vacation spot,” even though I went there just twice this year and had some stuff shipped. The rest of the site knows my actual address but this “about me” section doesn’t.

    This should shock no one and if anything the shocking thing is transparency (though that is likely a ploy as I guarantee based on these articles plenty of people will go view it to correct the record, giving Amazon a great source of refinement for ad tracking)

    Literally every major website (and basically every website that run JavaScript for that matter) tracks and profiles you. Your tv does the same, as does your phone and almost all the apps on it, etc. and the profiling they don’t show you definitely exists: race, political affiliation/leaning, income estimates, address, educational level, health issues, etc

    I was sort of unimpressed with mine. It was all variations of:

    -Likely lives in <city where I have every order shipped>

    -Likely owns <thing I buy accessories for>

    And then for some reason it thinks I own a Dodge Ram. I have four vehicles saved to my account. None of them are a Dodge Ram.

    If this is as good as they get, they should be embarrassed about how much money they’ve spent on this stuff. Oh, I prefer the brand of product that I bought multiple times? Shocking!

    I’m not surprised though. I bought a microwave through Amazon about a year ago. They showed me other microwaves for like a month after. So dumb.

    Was always glad to have never been an Amazon customer, even more so now.

    Jeff Bezos hosted Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to his private, invitation-only, weekend at a resort he rented out. Bezos had many close ties to Epstein. Bezos also had numerous private dinners with Epstein.

    The photo is from a party where Ghislaine Maxwell hobnobbed with him but make no mistake they were close friends.

    Make sure to add this note to your files about Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.

    I was surprised how ordinary mine was. Things like buys mens clothing, does home improvement projects, maintains automobile, prefers high quality products.
