You must have no shame.

My wife buys diapers online, then ads for diapers show up on my computer.

I go shopping for underwear on one device, and then when reading a technical forum with co-workers on a different device, there's ads with people just wearing underwear.

The tracking is extremely excessive.

That’s just the algorithm telling you to be more involved in childcare.

I assume it's already been written but I've said and I'll say again that the 1984 of the future will be set in or around some kind of algorithmic dystopia. I'm specifically thinking a corporate one although China...

Maybe I should be the change and write it myself
