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
Mine seemed to have pulled knowledge based on things I’ve mentioned in reviews. Otherwise it just seems to be pretty mundane for things like order history…yep, someone with a dog profile picture and who occasionally orders dog products may in fact, have a dog. The thing it gets tripped up on is things ordered for my kids or relatives from my account (but aren’t necessarily gifts or shipped elsewhere)
Mine was empty, i am kinda glad about it, it means they did not have enough info about me, not even by brokers Btw, i added
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.
Ah good. He was in goods with the secret police that’s two thousand or so years old that’s described in the New Testament at an eighth grade reading level, that is a good thing, and I am glad. For additional clarification, I want to make sure that you have understood that I have called out the farce of the police state that is using my still-living and very real bud Jeff’s reputation as a scaffold for thems child hooker things and trafficking and the like, but y’know, we all know how engrossed you are in that nine-figure industry as you are, cardboardboxfort. We see your search history over here in Quantico, or wherever tf you think I am.
This post smells like toast
Do you smell popcorn?
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.
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.
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.
Shortly after the Amazon suggestions:
this is the way. there is claude skill designed for that kind of shenanigans.
You could also, like… type.
As a normal person, huh?
dunno
Can I speak to the claude directly?
define “directly”?
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.
“orders a bizarre amount of soap”
I’ve gone through and deleted everything as a matter of principle.
Sorta thought this thread would be full of people saying “I dont even have an Amazon account”. Makes me sad.
I completely degoogled and the one I had had was tied to that google account. Deamazoned as a consequence.
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.
Well there’s a walmart that has electronics stuff but at that point you may as well just buy from Amazon anyway lmao
Yeahhh they’re nearly on the same level. Treatment of workers is roughly on par, I just haven’t heard of a Walton-Epstein connection (yet). But yeah fuck the Waltons lol
There is always Newegg or B&H.
I’ve used Newegg but never heard of B&H what is that? Newegg is good for PC parts but not really for other things. Like RV electronics for example. Altho you can find some of that on other sites too. I do try to diversify when I can and not support the monopoly. One of the main issues I’ve found is just shipping. Even if you can find something somewhere else sometimes it’ll take a month to get there, or it’s out of stock, or something like that. Especially more recently. I even had something happen one time where I tried to buy from LattePanda on their site and my bank BLOCKED the transaction and wouldn’t let me buy from them directly because they were an “untrusted” vendor lol. But I was allowed to buy the exact same thing 2nd hand from Amazon.
I have one collecting dust. I could delete it but it never gets used and they’ll profile me anyway. Last purchase was in February 2020. I’ve always hated amazon because of where I grew up and other reasons, but seeing how warehouse workers were treated during the pandemic was the tipping point for me. Convenience is like a drug, and going cold turkey was pretty fucking hard honestly. But it’s become easier over time. I will never give another red fucking cent to Borzo.
I don’t got one but in the off chance I can only find it on amazon, I use another person’s account
amazon is backbone service of the internet dude.
they let you on AWS servers even if you’re not signed into Prime lmao
For now…
Is there a way to see what companies use AWS?
No. Only way to not use AWS is to not use the internet at all.
It’s like saying how to use the internet without Akami or Cloudflare… you aren’t in 2026.
Are we using it right now by communicating on lemmy?
It is not quite that extreme as they only have 30% of the global market. Your sentiment is correct though.
Yeah, so what’s your point dude?
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.
You mean Jeff Bezos became a billionair for nothing? That guy must really feel like a loser now.
I can’t get enough Boris detritus
I also enjoy what happened to the Tories
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.
You guys have Slavery – The Company accounts?
This!!!
Fully erase and delete that shit immediatly!
