I had a weird experience some time ago. I stayed with my family at a hotel and our room had an unusually shaped tap in its bathroom. I never looked it up online - in fact, I didn't even mention to anyone that I thought that was a very peculiar tap. But a few days after we came back, Amazon showed me that exact tap as a shopping suggestion. It felt a little creepy. I could see no connection between the site where I booked the hotel room and Amazon, but there must be one somewhere.
- williamscales 10y agoIs it possible the manufacturer of the faucets actually partners with the hotel to market the faucets and they actually pay the hotel for the guest information to show them ads? I know some hotels I've stayed at actually advertise the fittings so it doesn't seem like a great stretch. Still deeply creepy.
- LyndsySimon 10y agoA previous or subsequent guest searched the tap online, and their search was associated with your account because it was from the same IP?
- somethingsimple 10y agoThat actually makes a lot of sense. I think I used their wifi.
