After shopping a lot from them for 22 years now, what a letdown:

    They know I have a filtration system and enjoy comedy. That's my whole personality right there!

    Jeff Bezos hosted Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to his private, invitation-only, weekend at a resort he rented out. Bezos had many close ties to Epstein. Bezos also had numerous private dinners with Epstein.

    The photo is from a party where Ghislaine Maxwell hobnobbed with him but make no mistake they were close friends.

    Make sure to add this note to your files about Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.

  • Is this only for Amazon US? I don't see anything similar for Amazon México.

    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

    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...

    I looked at mine, it didn't have anything insulting, but it had a lot of outdated stuff which makes sense as I cut my Amazon usage down to almost nothing since a couple of years ago.

    Non issue. The crap I do buy there is defined perfectly. Nothing even remotely like my ass is flat. Sigh

    Nothing under mine. There's a place where I can input that kind of information, but everything is empty. Maybe this is unique to US America?

    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.

    I was hoping to find some saucy info on myself, but instead I got things like "prefers premium coffee brands with consistent flavor profiles" and "likely has a workshop"

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

    Mine is basically just a list of products I have bought.

    Likes backpacking

    Yeah well I bought a full kit off Amazon so that tracks..

    I was sort of unimpressed with mine. It was all variations of:

    -Likely lives in

    -Likely owns

    And then for some reason it thinks I own a Dodge Ram. I have four vehicles saved to my account. None of them are a Dodge Ram.

    "Established spice collection building", What? The only thing I can think of that would contribute to this is I got Orange Blossom water once, and canisters for loose tea. I haven't even gotten a coffee or spice grinder, not even a pepper mill.

    It's in the part that says "If you’re curious what kind of haphazard observations Amazon is keeping on you, you can pull up the page by clicking on the “Account” link under the Account & Lists drop down menu. Scroll to the bottom of the page you land on and click a small link that says “manage your information” and there you have it. On mobile, you click on the profile account icon on the bottom bar, hit “Account,” then “Shopping preferences,” and then “About you.”'"

    If this is as good as they get, they should be embarrassed about how much money they've spent on this stuff. Oh, I prefer the brand of product that I bought multiple times? Shocking!

    I'm not surprised though. I bought a microwave through Amazon about a year ago. They showed me other microwaves for like a month after. So dumb.

    People discovering their apps watch them.

    Amazon is definitely going to plug that hole.

    These are pulled from the item descriptions. OP probably bought something 'for flat butts' and boom it goes in their preferences.

    Mine is literally just all things I bought from amazon. So yeah.

    It thinks I'm married with two kids, because well, I buy lots of toys and things for women for the holidays... well yeah because I have nephews/nieces and two sisters... so of course I buy things for kid and women regularly as gifts.
