I bought new chargers for my IPhone, so Amazon recommended other products.

I’m particularly confused by the first one: 🤔

its weird how they always know exactly what you need
@Matt85 Yet none are things I need. Even the phone accessories are for the Galaxy (Samsung). I bought my chargers for an IPhone.

Hate Amazon.
Everything about it is to screw you the customer.

Everything from constant spam to tiny fine print in different colours you don't see until you order and see the added charges and ridiculous p&p.

Oh and don't get an Echo Dot.
You'd be amazed at the spam emails and trash post you get in the mail
@Picklebobble2 @metaldog
Sigh. I get it. I’ve never had a problem with them and it was just something I found amusing. $8.00 for a pack of chargers seemed like a bargain. Apple will replace your charger cord (one) for a mere $39.95.
Now that’s a rip-off. 🤨
@bijouxbroussard I say don't give your money to either!! 😏
@metaldog Too late.

I'm at a total loss what to say. I think I'll read the other comments. What if you order the TP stand if only to see what else they'd recommend? This could lead to more posts!

Funny....I’m going to need to get a couple of those because in the condo we’re moving into, they don’t have wall-mounted tp holders! Still, Amazon hasn’t suggested that for me.
I bought a blood pressure monitor, and they suggested a wool cap and some other unrelated things.
I have a Samsung Galaxy phone, too....so any of your suggested items makes some sense (for me) as a recommendation, except that I don’t like clear cases and I’ve never cracked a phone screen.
@DragonFruit The chargers I bought were marketed as compatible with Apple products.

Lol, looks about right. I love my Amazon shopping, but their algorithm for suggested add-ons to an order are just crazy.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
They actually base it on products that others bought with your item. The way to get free shipping is to order many things so your over all bill is above $100. Especially if you don't have Amazon prime.
@DeWayfarer I understand, but this is what they posted to me and they know I have Prime.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@bijouxbroussard the AI doesn't take that into account. It only goes by what is frequently bought together. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don't make up the logic. Yet I do know how AI thinks.
@DeWayfarer I guess. But it appears on my page and references what I bought.

Still better than me ordering headphones and being suggested sexual toys 🙈
@Elessar Oops ! 🤭

The paper holder indicates which room the iPhone is used in, generally... 🤭
@helenS I wondered about that. Some places I don’t take my phone. Anyone wanting to talk with me then will just have to wait a bit. 😅

Mine often shows what I've recently browsed. Maybe if you haven't browsed other items recently their suggestion algorithms just do a random selection of things they think you might want?
@Ontheroad I didn’t know these items even existed. I just wanted chargers for my IPhone. It wasn’t serious, I was just mildly amused.

@bijouxbroussard It's Amazon Big Brother trying to guide you to a higher plane of purchasing😁
@Ontheroad Perhaps so. 😅

I bought an electronic on Amazon and it offered a warranty on it and then it recommended warranties for products I didn’t have afterwards

Also a classic
@JRVanguard Oh, wow !

Maybe it connected the term 'holder stand' to holded stands that are actually to hold an iPhone. 😅
@Classified Hmmm…🤔🤭

@bijouxbroussard I try to make sense of stuff. 😬

Maybe if you hold this in one hand while facing north during a full moon, it will charge your phone in the other hand. 😆
OldBrit · 61-69, M
😂😂
All those people who look at the phone on the loo thinking I need a charger and a new loo roll holder
DrWatson · 70-79, M
Well, what's one place where we sit with our phones? 😂

Gotta love that algorithm!
@DrWatson I never take my phone there, there’s literally no time I have to be on the phone that badly.
(I wonder if remote workers do that ?) 😅

Well it is a good conversation starter!😃
@bookerdana Indeed. 😄

They know you can't resist a great deal! 🛒
Let's give AI the nuclear codes!
Spaghetto · 26-30, F
It’s a good ass deal
Ontheroad · M
@Spaghetto I see what you did there🤣
It can be worse 😅
@PiecingBabyFaceTogether It wasn’t really a bad thing, I just found it funny.

Yeah I love their tagging system. I have look up nail polish and gotten an Apple dongle. I think it has to do with what is called social tagging which lets unqualified people add tags and keywords to products. I have done that job before and you literally get paid pennies at a time. So many people aren't going to care about tagging something accurately.

Why $20 for a toilet paper holder though
@Unhinged I admit, I’ve never priced those. In my bathroom the holder is on the wall by the "throne". 😄
