Googles long-term memory
- georgieporgie 15y agoI was shopping for a simple necklace for the femm-bot and found an acceptable one at overstock. For at least the following month, I was positively bombarded with advertisements for that necklace. It was particularly annoying, since I had already bought it. (I don't actually know which ad network I was being harassed by, it just happens to be the only long-term advertising I recall being exposed to)
