The thing with me being the product is that... no I'm not!
I'm the end consumer, the guy that will ultimately decide to buy the stuff in the ads.
So they know what sort of stuff I like... so what?
Whenever I search for something on amazon, the next day I get an email telling me to look into these other fine choices in the same subject. Amazon knows what I like to look at... or rather... what I look at... at least half of my searches are for prices to help other make their decisions
But I must be a rarity... I'm pretty much not influenced by ads. At most, they let me know that some particular thing exists... which I could get from a small search on a few select sites.
Oh, and adBlock Plus! I only get ads when I'm using the phone!
On other news, I've been trying to get my kids to ignore ads too, at least the few online ones that they come across. I must say that I have been successful at that. Even when they don't understand what's written, they just go to what they want to do!
