The data they have on me is all publicly available to begin with (LinkedIn, Portfolio website). They have absolutely nothing that may be of any use to advertisers. I am listed in just two categories:
Internet
Internet > Online Streamers > Photo Sharing Consumers
No shit sherlock. I've got a Flickr account, and I am on the Internet. Apparently I am not a big influencer ... how little do they know that I have a multitude of accounts on various forums and social networking platforms with thousands of people that read what I write.
At least for me their system is a complete joke.
- cosbynator 16y agoThe info is publicly available, but they are linking it together in a machine readable way. It wouldn't take much to add one of your 'multitude of accounts' and then the information would become more specific (interest wise) and also directly traceable to you.
- X-Istence 16y agoThey would have to link it using data that is NOT publicly available, and that is what seems to be their issue is that they can only use publicly available to machine link stuff together, data I've put out there for everyone to see under specific names/email addresses on purpose in a controlled manner. While yes I agree the possibility is there, it is really remote.
