That is the thing I hate about the internet. If they started to send me emails with add I would livid. I I look at something and buy it I will see adds for the same thing for a month or two, which is stupid as I have already bought it. How many trailer lights am I going to buy in a month or two.
I do everything I can to stop this. I set “Do not track” which helps a little. I never agree to have them send information or adds. I occasionally block them if they area real pain.
I just want to go on the Internet view and buy things without being harassed by stupid computer algorithms that put out adds on what it feels are similar items that I need to buy that are totally not interesting or I do not need or want. Often they are so off base it is pathetic. Lord help me if I ever listen to or buy music on line as they will follow me to my grave telling me that they have all this music that matches my likes and should buy it. I am the only one who knows what I want and when I need it. Not some pushy salesperson cloaked in a computer algorithm trying to lighten my pockets.
Enough said.
