MODERATORS
My hypothesis is that they sell that you searched for a humidifier (more or less) and they don't update it with you having bought one. Probably because it's difficult for the folks buying the ads to deduce if it actually results in a sale. They're likely only seeing impressions and clicks. And the folks selling the ad space don't care, because why would they? An ad is an ad. They aren't really incenticized to.
