Decent little article talking about the big G brother profiting on you and not sharing a Penney. What, google spys on you? Bored and awake so I'll go step by step: They say I am 26 to 35 yrs younger than I really am. They say I am interested in business formation...LOL the only one I have considered is setting up PAY HERE booths at the Florida borders and see who is dumb enough to stop. Says I own my home, have been a renter since I got divorced in the early 80's. Oh yeah, they think I am married. Says I am interested in urban transit...the nearest urban area to me is at least fifty miles. They say I work for a very large employer...lol I have been retired since 2012. They say I have a HIGH household income...I live on Social Security and a tiny VA pension! And the banking idiots give me an almost 770 credit score! Plus a few others that are off also. If that is marketing today, they might as well just use wheels of fortune or a version of the old 8 balls. Gonna flip some serving carts in my marketing discussion in the AM.

I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

For sure LB4LB, I think Privacy Badger is one of the big reasons.
I will come up with a Nixer classic school post today, as we have a discussion going on qualitative vs quantitative marketing research. Should be fun.
Good luck to anybody buying that crap data.

Opposite case for me, and to the extreme.
I googled an item on my PC.
An hour later I saw an ad for exactly that item on my phone.
My phone has ABSOLUTELY ZERO "connections" to my PC. I do not access the same email (or even service) with it, I never give out my phone number on my PC, etc, etc, etc.
I can't get my head around how they pull this off - best guess I come up with is some entity in the real world sold my phone number info, and either directly or indirectly Google got ahold of it... +1
SALUTE TO ALL!

I don't use FB except for messenger and it's an old email i have connected to nothing for at least 10 years, all fake personal info and no pictures. Solar ads on google within the day.

I (heart) advertising computer algorithms. On Facebook, I always share lingerie advertisements, especially from Wish, with the goal being that I wondered when I would get one for a "marital aid." It was a fine game, and it only took eight months before I hit jackpot. A bluetooth enabled, smart phone controlled "personal massage device" popped up. Winner! It's also a huge mess of random stuff around a core of Airplane Stuff, Firearm Stuff, Army Stuff, and Lingerie/Cosplay. They're really guessing hard, from burr bits to gardening tools. It's also not sure if I'm straight or not, as I get ads for Gay Paraphernalia semi-regularly.
