I use my Amazon account to buy regular stuff but today this shows up in stuff I might be interested in!
  Attached File Attached File Attached FileIt's kind of a change from body wipes, heated mattress warmers, and No. 10 envelopes! I didn't even know they made faraday MOLLE pouches! |

They use ad tracking from other websites you visit. So if you viewed another website related to radios, it was able to see this ad cookie thus start serving you their own related ads.

They are listening all the time and are monitoring everything on you devices.
Similar shit has happened to me. Fun exercise. Get together with family or friends. Put all your phones in the middle of the table. Then have and adlib conversation about whatever one product you all choose. Something that no one in the group would have and interest or reason to search. Say Solvent Traps. Then watch what pops up on everyone's feeds. |

I've been following that HAM licensing thread and recommendations about Bao Feng radios. |

I've been following that HAM licensing thread and recommendations about Bao Feng radios. Almost certainly. And if you've been to any other site that sells that kind of stuff as well. Ever notice how you see ads for stuff you bought recently? I'm still seeing ads for a luggage rack I bought weeks ago. Basically most ads are served up by servers that aren't the ones serving up the main page's content. And each one looks for cookies that are "kinda-sorta" a unique ID number. Get enough people with cookies enabled (stay logged into any websites?) and any ad company can put together what else you've been looking at, as they know which site loaded ads. |

There is a cookie in your past that they now see. If you say you’ve never looked at that on their website, but you have somewhere else ... well there you go. Say for just about anything in that categarory. So lets say that Amazon says everyone who buys Y has previously looked at X so lets advertise this. So, lets say you looked at MREs somewhere and Amazon believes people who look at MREs also buy radios.

I have one of those CB radios you can plug into your cigarette lighter and put the antenna on the roof of your car, so the shortwave would be more for listening to what's out there |

Considering they don't want mail-in ballots for the union vote in Alabama, I'd say they know about all of the rampant cheating that went on during the presidential elections.

The programmer that built Amazon's recommendation engine was Dave Sellinger. He started other companies that did the same thing for other e-commerce clients. I worked for him at one of those companies. The recommendations work on models built from the data collected by Amazon. Data collection is a big hungry service. Those models are built on your data, along with every other Amazon customer. They don't just look at what you clicked on, they look at the following:
What was viewed What was purchased What was in your cart at the time of any event What was searched for What was purchased after the search whether or not if it was in the search results ... There's a million more. That last one on the list is a serious bitch to test. Models like these are evolving to use data from other sources (Facebook, Other Personal Data). It's a big scary business. So use your private VPN's on your phones. |
