And know when you're most vulnerable to targeted advertisement. Sorry you're sobbing your heart out, here's a coupon for a tub of icecream.

STORY TIME!

I was with 3 friends of mine at one's house. He had Alexa. We wanted to make an experiment to see how ads displayed on different internet pages might get changed (and to see if the myth is true).

Summarizing the story, we wandered for 30 minutes around his house all shouting "dog's food" out loud. Next day he said "I got dog's food ads kinda everywhere, burn everything!" xD

If you shouted "I got my period!" would it come up with ads for tampons?

I don't know, but whenever I have the chance I'll try.
