Also, targeting became much worse than 2004, which makes me doubt that all this "deep learning on big data" even slightly works. Everywhere I see only ads for mobile games, hollywood movies, consumer loans, cars — and I hate all of these things.
- dudul 9y agoOne thing I see quite frequently is ads for items I already bought. Not like "oh you just bought a T-Shirt, well let's show you another great T-Shirt", no no, it's "oh you just bought this T-Shirt, well let's show you the exact same T-Shirt in case you want to buy a second one completely identical".
- kbart 9y agoOh yes, Amazon is the king of this type of annoyance. I've bought a laptop on it once, so it kept nagging me for buying another one for few years! I don't get such logic -- if I've just bought something, what is the probability that I need the same item? That's more like the exact opposite in my line of thinking -- if I've just bought something, I definitely don't need another one, so don't even bother.
