Why are tech company's so interested in my boring ass data?
Why are tech company's so interested in my boring ass data?
Like why do they care how many times I go to porn hub every day or that nothing gets me harder than a free use MILF? Why do they care that I don't know how to spell consistency so I have to Google it every 3 months.
What the fuck is wrong with people?
You're viewing a single thread.
Yeah, it’s advertising. They want to be able to sell you clothes you’ll probably actually wear, video games you’ll actually play, etc. They probably don’t care about your google spell checks as much as they care about what posts you’re liking on your Instagram reels.
On one hand, it sucks to not really have that privacy. On the other hand, people act like if you don’t use a VPN for every single online service today that in 5 years data brokers will sell your exact address to the Islamic Jihad for ten dollars.
The Google spell checks are probably pretty big too because it gives them info on what you're thinking/writing about in that moment.
Well, true for some words. OP checking out how to spell “consistently” and me trying to figure out effect/affect for a specific case…. Probably less so.
Actually, both of those are indicative of educational attainment, social philosophy, probably political leaning….
video games you’ll actually play
Goodness, me. I wish. Steam sure is good at selling me games that make me feel like I really want to have that experience though! Once it's bought, they did their job.
I've yet to see any ads for "How to spend time enjoying a thing just for yourself without feeling guilty and anxious that you're being left socioeconomically behind and the next (un)planned economic downturn will ruin everything for sure this time."
So... y'know they could be doing a better job. Lol
Also $10 is $10... nobody's personally selling it, it's just floating around and it could be bought if the Islamic Jihad wanted it LOL.
I'm more concerned about things like, selling my data like vehicle usage or DNA to insurance companies who would use that data against me.
