I buy an average of a hundred items on Amazon a year, among them all my – male – clothes. Your algorithms are just plain shit when a single purchase five years ago is somehow weighed more than the whole rest.
- VLM 10y agoI buy my wife and daughter gifts using Amazon. I don't think its unreasonable or sexist or evil for an advertiser to assume I'll continue to buy gifts for my wife and daughter. If the algorithm makes money I don't see the problem.
- apk17 10y agoThe algorithm guesses that your wife is doing the ordering, and is targeting her.
- creshal 10y agoSo the algorithm isn't even able to differentiate between the buying behaviour of a married couple and a single male living alone, with roughly 10 years worth of buying history to judge from? I'd fire the department responsible for that waste of money.
