    I like the whole way online advertising works where my computer spies on me buying a pair of wireless earbuds and for the next six months will spam me for ads for wireless earbuds, after I have already bought some Exactly the worst possible time to do so

        I guess they're hoping for sales if it turns out the ones I bought suck and I return them And if, like the majority of purchasers, I do not, well -- that means I was never gonna be their customer and they lose nothing by pissing me off, other than making the world a bit worse

        I don't think this is really rational on their part, though, they just have what felt like a superweapon because it violated so many norms and ethics and therefore they're convinced it must be effective and they should use it all the time

        Like the black comedy joke of a character who's been stalking someone for months and then actually asks them out and starts dropping hints they know everything about them As though that will make them fall in love with you and not just reveal you are a stalker

        (It's the whole thing from You where it's actually pretty clear Joe would be way, way more successful with women if he DIDN'T stalk them, like he thinks the stalking is this clever strategy that makes him irresistible instead of being the main thing that will destroy his life)

        I also find it interesting to see ads for products I looked at on a site but choose not to buy then follow me around everywhere. Like I know this product exists. I don’t need to be told it exists. I just didn’t want to buy it.

        There's pretty strong evidence that the best technique for online ads is contextual advertising (the ad is related to the text of the website you're already currently reading) Which, you know, we already had all the way back in the 90s

        well that's the thing about advertising, right, nobody has any data on whether it works at all companies' ad budgets aren't rational decisions, they're sacrifices to the ad mysteries

        Isn’t that why they put in coupon codes in ads? So they know if ad is effective?

        I guess the idea is a lot of people browse products for a while first before buying, because I get stuff all over my ads just for looking things up. They should be smart enough to remove that item from your ads once you do buy it though.

        The funny thing is that I've developed a reverse idiom for this There's a certain kind of annoying person I like to call "a human Google Adsense tracking cookie" Like, you have to be careful what you mention around them because they'll never stop talking about it
