I'm not suggesting that the product won't work or that it's snake oil, but when I looked it up on Amazon the "people who bought this also bought" section listed a 'GPS bug detector', a 'Vitamin B2 to cure migraines' product, and a geiger counter specifically designed for checking your food.
- MacsHeadroom 3y agoThat seems to be your recommendations. My "people who bought this also bought" is showing another tDCS kit, a tDCS book and a tDCS cap.
- onion2k 3y agoTo be fair my Amazon shopping history is pretty weird so it might well be that.
- hackernewds 3y agothose also seem legitimate?
- burnished 3y agoIt also seems to suggest a certain gullibility?
- haswell 3y agoI’m not sure that it suggest anything besides the fact that many people buying these products on Amazon also happen to buy other “fringe” products, perhaps because of paranoid tendencies. Until something like this becomes mainstream, buyers will probably fall into two categories: 1. These paranoid types who are willing to try things most people won’t look twice at 2. Nerd/bio hacker types who have some fascination/interest in the subject I’d guess there is only overlap when products are actually grounded in some real science, e.g. the people buying stuff for paranoid fringe reasons are also buying far crazier stuff that the bio hacker would reject outright and for good reason.
