Google a product. Find it on a website. Buy, or don't buy a product—just stay long enough on the website to indicate interest.
Open Instagram. All sponsored posts are about that product and similar ones.
I hate Google and Meta.

@SaraSoueidan The "don't buy" scenario makes sense, but I really don't get why they think I need to see ads when I have, actually, already bought the thing. Either they're stupid or they're ripping off their advertisers. Or both; willing to believe both.

@sbourne Agreed. It's like when you buy a product on Amazon and suddenly it starts flooding you with ads for 100s of similar products. Like if I bought a vacuum cleaner, why would you show me ads for 100 more?

@SaraSoueidan They used to be smarter. There was an article (years ago) about a woman buying a diet book and then being offered a ham. That made sense. (She did buy the ham )

AMAZON HAS ENTERED THE CHAT.
Can I interest either of you single person named Sara(h) in these LLM-generated books about ham diets using vacuum cleaners?

@aardrian @SaraSoueidan Diets don't do any thing for me. But did you say vacuum? Like, somebody sucking up all the cat hair???
