And????

Stalking is only illegal if you’re doing it to a person, but you can stalk snakes all you want.

It also show up everywhere even if you is click or tap on something by mistake. Because them dumb tracking bots.

She hates it but she’s defending it.

When the product is free, you are the product.

And making something illegal stops it? In history classes I sometimes have students read ancient law codes. Sometimes a student will enthuse about an ancient society, “They didn’t have murder or theft! It was against the law!” I remind him/her they’re against the law here and now, doesn’t mean they don’t happen.

Real question, of course, is always how apprehension of crooks and their trials went down in ancient times. One or two actually had two tiers of laws, one for the rich and one for the poor. :/s Of course everyone, rich or poor, is equal in the eyes of the law here and now. :/s

You are in a deep hole and they give you a shovel to help you get out. It takes a while to realize you are getting in deeper…

That’s capitalism for you. Anything to scam a buck out of the non-rich. Scamming the rich is illegal.

It’s stalking! Have the Digital Marketer’s arrested. Charged with Embezzling.

Sure she wouldn’t mind being stalked by coffee….unless it’s decaf

And then get ads, for months on end, for things you just purchased….

It’s more like preying.

A friend of mine bought a few cans of cat food for his mom’s cat several years ago, & he STILL gets ads for all things cat-related!

I don’t really mind this practice. If I’m going to see ads, they might as well be for something I’m likely to want. The main problem is that, as others above have said, the algorithms don’t know when to stop.

I like the way it only bothers people who expressed an interest in being bothered by that particular one thing.

Stalkers have not necessarily been invited to stalk. I remember thinking in the movie Ghost in which Patrick Swayze’s character was basically a stalker before. He told how he wouldn’t leave his loved one alone.

I have convinced the digital marketing stalkers that I am a young woman shopping for bikinis. It’s much more fun to be followed around by those ads.

There’s a coffee table that has been following me around the Internet for weeks. I just bought a coffee table. What are the odds I’m going to need another coffee table this century?
