You would really think the algorithm would be smarter by now.

    They're not allowed to see actual purchase data, so all they have is "this person looked at a humidifier and may or may not have bought one". So they're plastering you with humidifier ads in case you still haven't pulled the trigger, or in case you did buy one but returned it.

    I know. So the reason we are seeing this is not that the algorithm is shit, it's because there's laws in place to protect us.

    Meaning if we stop seeing this, then we should be worried! 😄😄😵‍💫
