if you've already been then you're in the second tier of the funnel: to drive up engagement among visitors

I guess so, but it seems like it would be more profitable to ad things that are similar but not the same

"has visited before" drives up their model's credence that "sees ad -> buys or engages further"

looking at user engagement/click data will reveal that we don't deserve special treatment or benefit of the doubt

most users are impulsive and unsophisticated, and sites are implicitly designed to encourage this

yeah I guess every other kind of ad is prob less effective than getting you to re-decide something you already kinda wanted
