    After shopping a lot from them for 22 years now, what a letdown:

    They know I have a filtration system and enjoy comedy. That’s my whole personality right there!

    I looked at mine, it didn’t have anything insulting, but it had a lot of outdated stuff which makes sense as I cut my Amazon usage down to almost nothing since a couple of years ago.

    Jeff Bezos hosted Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to his private, invitation-only, weekend at a resort he rented out. Bezos had many close ties to Epstein. Bezos also had numerous private dinners with Epstein.

    The photo is from a party where Ghislaine Maxwell hobnobbed with him but make no mistake they were close friends.

    Make sure to add this note to your files about Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.

    Nothing under mine. There’s a place where I can input that kind of information, but everything is empty. Maybe this is unique to US America?

    This should shock no one and if anything the shocking thing is transparency (though that is likely a ploy as I guarantee based on these articles plenty of people will go view it to correct the record, giving Amazon a great source of refinement for ad tracking)

    Literally every major website (and basically every website that run JavaScript for that matter) tracks and profiles you. Your tv does the same, as does your phone and almost all the apps on it, etc. and the profiling they don’t show you definitely exists: race, political affiliation/leaning, income estimates, address, educational level, health issues, etc

    This is the only thing that isn’t “likely interested in electronics [because I buy some niche parts off amazon]” or “likely uses [brand of phone I have occasionally bought screen protectors for]”

    Aaaaaand it’s wrong! So, a little disappointed there. Was hoping for something super judgemental. Man though, it’d be interesting to see what this service would make of my lemmy profile…
