    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.

    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

    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.

    Mine said I need to buy things to figure out who I was. I’ve boycotted them since 2022 and I was pretty bought into the Alexa ecosystem with my house’s lights and entertainment.

    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 have to say, this was an accurate and non-offensive assent of my spending habits.

    Of course, that was just what they felt comfortable sharing, I know I’ve made purchases through Amazon they could have called me out on.

      How much personal grooming do you have to do to get that? Does your score increase if you buy vagazil?
