All that spying for this?

Rakhim in I wish tech companies knew more about me:

I get shown ads for products I just purchased. All this spying, machine learning, big data result in "he bought a mattress, show him more mattresses". Here, I literally just opened a random website with no adblocker, and I see a purple gamepad I recently purchased, with two other gamepads

Hard agree. I certainly wouldn't mind. That's not to say I won't make them work for it.
