‘Has flat buttocks,’ ‘cusses when scared’: Amazon keeps shockingly specific customer profiles

Sorta thought this thread would be full of people saying “I dont even have an Amazon account”. Makes me sad.

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
