Mine is pretty boring. Honestly, I imagine Amazon has a much deeper profile for us hidden away and this is the one they wanted us to find to diffuse our suspicions of being constantly spied on… Seriously, I bet me TV knows more about me than that list.
I don’t think it’s that elaborate of a conspiracy. The “deeper” profile “hidden away” is just not in plain English. They probably had to do extra processing to produce the neat human interpretable data. I’m guessing the real purpose of this is getting the humans to look at it and correct the mistakes because a lot of people are dumb enough to do just that.

Yes it does give you the option to feed it. I would like to actively fuck with mine, just haven’t decided exactly how yet.
