I block any sort of ad and tracker on everything in my house, they might be trying to show "targeted" ads but I'll never see them and their data will always be wrong.
Fuck em.
I was hoping by now they'd have a good bead on me and would give me really targeted products on Amazon that I couldn't help buying. But their suggestions are crap
LOL, I have not updated my LinkedIn in about 12 years.
I can't seem to say this often enough. Stop hooking your televisions to the internet...
That doesn’t aime why Amazon is able to use your LinkedIn data to target you with ads at all.
This is it. This is always the answer.
Jokes on you, I neither have a TV or use any paid streaming platforms.
cancelled Amazon account a year ago… liked in one about 2 years ago
I knew deleting my LinkedIn account like 15 years ago was smart
I think it's high time I join you on that
Jokes on you, I have no amazon or linkedin accounts. And no smart tv. Just a dumb tv with a linux box for jellyfin. I actually can't remember the last time I saw an ad on anything.
