I've noticed this on corporate social media:

So you'll be scrolling along minding nobody's business and you'll come across some website that is basically selling you one product.

So I'm a photographer and I'm rebuilding my business so the crap that the algorithm feeds me tends to be photography oriented.

Enter the Chuzhao digital TLR camera

It's a neat little camera! Maybe I could justify the purchase if the cost weren't so high.

But wait...

Can I find it elsewhere?

Enter Amazon:

So take $100 CAD or so off the price. Wow.

Hmmmmmm........

I wonder.....

Turns out you can eliminate most of the cost of the item just by purchasing it from AliExpress.

This isn't the only product like this I've seen.

The lesson here:

A fool and his money are soon parted.

And no, I'm not buying this silly little camera just in case you were wondering.

for some reason, they really want to sell me the litter robot.

I don't have a cat.

🤷

i block ads because i am 100% not interested in targeted ads or what they think i want to buy.

if I want something i look for it and make up my own mind.

invasive data driven ads are a scourge.

as a gay guy they recommend gay dating sites to me and other stereotyped 'gay' things... that well this f&g isn't interested in. 🤙😇🤣

Absolutely agreed. I spend in inordinate amount of time keeping ads away from myself and my daughter. I just noticed this a few times on Facebook and I find it amusing.
