    That’s monitoring you and your closests’ other behavior, as well as monitoring then nudging you towards wanting certain things. The ad itself is the last nudge in that chain that tries to go “you wanted this, don’t you?” after all of the other thinking it’s making a case for your life being better with it.

      my wife and I had been married for 2 years. been together for close to 10.

      not once did we EVER say “Adirondack Chair”. Just never came up in conversation. we were broke as fuck and couldn’t afford something as superfluous as one of those.

      One day, were driving down the road home and see one on the side of he road.

      what’s that?

      looks like an Adirondack Chair

      Adirondack Chair? For free?

      yeah, it looks broken though.

      we get home go inside. I sit down to veg on my phone on the sofa. what does Amazon put in my “things you like” feed? mother fuckin Adirondack Chairs. Google news feeds? Adirondack Chairs on sale.

      My wife had YouTube videos that were reviewing Adirondack Chairs.

      this was ten years ago. Imagine what they’re doing now…
