What? That is an incredibly accurate profile derived from random tweets / follows, and certainly accurate enough to serve you ads.

Fair point. Except I don’t post, follow feeds only, put nothing about my personal life in my profile, and they asked for my birthday.

So my point was aimed more at advertisers buying on Twitter: they filled in the blanks and got them all wrong. And the one they had the data for they got wrong.

That and I’m not a internet consumer really. Twitter can see I’ve blocked over 1,000 accounts that promoted tweets. Is that statistic being shared with advertisers?

Likely not. Advertisers believe so who cares.

It’s so ephemeral as to be useless.
