I’ve had this general experience many times. It’s so bad. How can they claim this tracking crap actually helps increase sales! It just infuriates people

- luckylion 5y agoIt infuriates some people. Others will say "oh neat, I was thinking about buying a costume from that site and now I can save $5" and buy it. This stuff is done because it works.
- TeMPOraL 5y agoYeah, and some of those others will later discover they didn't actually save $5. > This stuff is done because it works. Yes. Annoying some people is only an externality. It's cheaper to apply those techniques to everyone, even if the actual target is a small subset of people vulnerable to being exploited. But, as always, just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Just because it works, doesn't mean it's right.
