I Hate Big Brother

In Similar Worlds I see ads for Shein next to ads for Vanquish High Pressure Liquid Chromatography kit. How does the algorithm know I'm a kick-ass lady scientist??? I hate Big Brother watching me!!!

I am right with you on hating Big Brother

You can add Google, Suckbook, MySpace, Twitter, Cellphones, IBM, Apple, Microsoft

We don't have privacy at all anymore. They know every website you visit, ever photograph you take, you exact location every second, they can track you though your phone, car, smart television, smart speakers, smart telephones, smart cars.

Can't we just have dumb stuff like we used to have.

This is why I won't own a cellphone, vehicles made after 1984, have wireless internet at home (truth is, if my daughter didn't live at home. I wouldn't have internet. I find it a waste of money, but she insisted we had to have it) and I have to make sure my television can work without a remote

@HumanEarth I hope you are joking.
Have you shared a wifi connection? I mean, when my wife is shopping on an online clothing store with her cell phone, I see the ads later on on my cell phone, simply because the phones connect to the same wifi router at home.

Half the ads I see at the top of the page I have no idea what they are even advertising so no idea if theyre aimed at me🤔

@SW-User Cool!

your profile says you are a successful business woman. that is odd! "They" know so much about us!

@samueltyler2 It's deep learning algorithms that drive it all. My niece shops online at Shein and my company deals in HPLC equipment amongst other things. It's just impressive that it pulls the threads together and squirts it out into SW

@Claudianovotny so you are in sales rather than actual reserach?

I don’t see ads

@BlueRain I guess you must pay a subscription, then? What I see seems to be Google ads down the right and across the top

@Claudianovotny You are correct. It’s so worth it.
