I must confess, I actually watched the entire video! Much better than looking through hundreds of screen-captures in a list and interestingly entertaining! It's striking to me the number of watch makers that advertised through the course of the year. The ads primarily caught my attention - which is strange, because I rarely look at ads when browsing sites. The one constant, from all the ads, was a watch manufacturer. Curious if the person who captured these images had a browsing history for watches, or if that's what everyone witnessed? Next experiment: Two completely different users capture these on the same time interval -- side by side comparison! ;-)

>Curious if the person who captured these images had a browsing history for watches, or if that's what everyone witnessed? Alas, no. I used a webkit to jpeg generator that should, in theory, be pretty void of any browsing history. I'd be surprised if they've started tracking those by ip!

  You shouldn't be too surprised, it's quite possible they were tracking some combination of IP, user agent, and a number of other things to identify the browser. I don't know that you would have ended up having a "watch" preference, though, especially without clicking on watch ads or visiting a watch site.
