I hope everyone has added this to their file about Jeff Bezos

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos had Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell attend his private, invitation-only, weekend at a resort he rented out. Bezos also has numerous private dinners with Epstein. They were good friends.

    I just checked mine. It says “probably has a dog”, “probably has workshop”, “probably has outdoor space”, prefers organic, and I have 6 hobbies. Gardening, backpacking, mountaineering, swimming, professional jewelry making and painting lol. I’m adhd. I’m not a mountaineer I just had to buy ice axes and microspikes last minute for a backpacking trip because the snow didn’t melt before our permit date. I mean we did scale mountains in the snow so I guess im a mountaineer now. I try to buy as little as possible from Amazon.

    Everyone getting mad that they made a profile about you, but nobody acknowledging that you can edit the info and make them believe crazy things about you.

    Funny that it knows this, yet chooses to ignore it.

    Heh. Just logged in to my Amazon account (which I seldom use) and it's got nothing on me.. which is JUST how I like it! Guess ticking all the privacy and security settings and using ad-blockers and a super edited hosts file (Dan Pollock's - for decades now..) and using throwaway email accounts for all of this shit is working!

    Niiiice.

    Honestly I wish I didn't. I don't have a google account. Don't have any Meta accounts. Don't have accounts for basically anything I'm not functionally REQUIRED to have (banking for example). But Amazon is hard to avoid. I do a lot of buying in person, but in person shopping is just horrible these days. You need to find something specific and you are screwed. I do try to find other places online to get something when I can but a lot of times I just have to fall back to amazon. Maybe part of it is just the area I'm in though. Tons of the more specialty stores here have closed down. We don't even have an electronics store anymore after Best Buy closed.

    I've had the privilege to live in economically robust (relatively speaking lol) environments, which has helped a lot in my mission to avoid them. I've been able to do it but I've also been lucky. Keep the fire alive, keep searching for alternatives. But damn do I feel for your situation, not even having a basic electronics type store is pretty rough.

    Why are so many of you still shopping with Amazon? Genuinely I do not understand it.

    Because Amazon wiped out what Walmart and other big box stores didn’t kill in the first round. Sometimes there’s literally no place else to get what I need, not even order it in to a local store. On top of that, Google search for products is so wrecked that the choices it returns are amazon links, or links to websites that also provide amazon links to the same products. It’s fucked up.

    (FWIW I do buy local or direct from businesses other than Amazon when possible, but it’s simply not possible all the time)

    What a judgemental slop.

    Favors wired over wireless audio. Browses audio and devices department. Repeatedly replaces budget earbuds rather than upgrading. Strongly prefers budget-tier audio products

    Also holy shit it's so wrong on rest.

    I haven't even got that page on the UK site. Looking at things they recommend I buy, I see the usual collection of things I bought once years ago, and completely random shit that I'd never be interested in in a million years. All that data collected, for what? How these people are worth trillions I'll never know.

    The one that got me was "probably has a husband who doesn't like lotion"

    I always figured Amazon knew the most about me because what you buy probably says more about you than what you search. Like Google may think I'm a raving lunatic but Amazon knows I am a householder and what I use. So I was honestly pretty relieved most of it was very general except that oddball example above.

    If someone wants to generate a database of Lemmy users preference, this comment section is a much cheaper way than setting up an entire company like Amazon.

    I was expecting to be horrified but mine actually made me feel pretty good lol

    I prefer Anker USB devices, I grow plants as a hobby, and I consistently maintain dog supplies!

    The only thing it got wrong is it thinks I have kids. But I guess I only really use amazon to get stuff for my dog and my sister's kids so that's no surprise

    “Systematically building electronics laboratory.”

    That’s so much nicer than saying I’m constantly trying and failing at my hobbies as I realize how little I know and how ill prepared I am for my ambitions.

    Yeah I was going to say. My AuDHD has my profile looking like I’m the most interesting person on earth. They don’t know that I’m just always planning to take up hobbies, and not really diving in fully on any of them. Always planning, never doing :(

    I have a friend that is always trying to convince me to join the local makerspace, but they don’t understand that means I would then also have to leave my house and look like an idiot in front of strangers.

    It would probably save me a lot of money, but… Now I own a desktop CNC. It’s still in the box, but I own one!

    "Likely lives in City, State"

    Birch you ship everything I've ever ordered to the same address. Best you can do is "likely"?

    Hahahaha... now I'm kind of sad I deleted my account after Amazon kept trying to scam me by offering me free Amazon prime. They would give me a month free, then like 10 days, then only like 3 days, hoping I would forget and have to be charged for it. When they finally caught me out, I just told them to fuck off and deleted my account. Never liked their other predatory practices, like how they would plagiarise and sell existing products for dirt cheap and label them Amazon Basics... And then when companies would go out of business. They would bring up the prices. I guess you don't get that wealthy without stepping on a lot of people.
