The most predictable purchase for someone who has purchased one TV and reviewed it positively is the exact same TV for another room.
They are just following the money, it might not make sense to an individual, but product recommendations are optimised for sales based on historical data.

- bscphil 8y agoThat's a really good point that I hadn't considered before: sometimes the ad that maximizes the expected return won't be the ad that is most accurately targeted. If an ad for a $10 HDMI cable for your new TV snags 10% of consumers, that's a well-targeted ad, but if 1/200 consumers will purchase another $500 TV if you remind them about it occasionally for the next six months, that's the ad it makes sense to run.

And when I liked the first one, I bought four more. A TV seems excessive though, but maybe that's just me. I mean it was a $700 TV, how much money does Amazon think I have to buy two of them?
