    Huh, just a bunch of “Probably own…” and for some reason it thinks I own a Land Rover… I do not own a Land Rover… I didn’t correct it.

    It knows the brand of shoes I buy from them, that I buy in bulk for consumables and that I have a dog.

    I looked at mine, it didn’t have anything insulting, but it had a lot of outdated stuff which makes sense as I cut my Amazon usage down to almost nothing since a couple of years ago.

    Mine said I’m a pedophile. I’m very insulted. That’s not the right word. I just look at all the feet products! Toe creases are the meaning of life, ok!

    This is the only thing that isn’t “likely interested in electronics [because I buy some niche parts off amazon]” or “likely uses [brand of phone I have occasionally bought screen protectors for]”

    Aaaaaand it’s wrong! So, a little disappointed there. Was hoping for something super judgemental. Man though, it’d be interesting to see what this service would make of my lemmy profile…

    Mine just says I like analog and vintage photography stuff and lacy and shiny clothes. Neither of which are very shocking.

      Yeah, mine was just wrong. It says “likely lives in name of vacation spot,” even though I went there just twice this year and had some stuff shipped. The rest of the site knows my actual address but this “about me” section doesn’t.

      I found it in the location the article said. I had to enter from the browser in “desktop mode” with my phone, but the section was empty

    This should shock no one and if anything the shocking thing is transparency (though that is likely a ploy as I guarantee based on these articles plenty of people will go view it to correct the record, giving Amazon a great source of refinement for ad tracking)

    Literally every major website (and basically every website that run JavaScript for that matter) tracks and profiles you. Your tv does the same, as does your phone and almost all the apps on it, etc. and the profiling they don’t show you definitely exists: race, political affiliation/leaning, income estimates, address, educational level, health issues, etc
