Honestly, who is creating the strategy behind these notifications at Amazon? They’re bonkers.
I buy a laptop on amazon – a week later: “we thought you’d like a new mobile computing device”
I buy an SSD on Amazon – 2 days later – “we thought you’d like more storage”.
Or better still out of the ether – “we thought you’d like some nail polish wipes”. Yes, a middle aged bloke who largely buys tech and ramen off amazon needs nail polish wipes.
Order 48 more and laugh at them
I had the exact same notification!
Bought a brolly on Amazon couple of week ago and now their algorithm believes I would be interested in purchasing a second brolly – presumably for my second hand
I like that the logo looks like it’s giving you a smug smile too.
I’m pretty sure I’m the reason my local Iceland put a 3-per-customer limit on 24 packs of Coke Zero.
For the past week I’ve been getting daily “We think you’d like Tea” notifications. No idea what in my browsing history trigger that
On one Call of Duty release day they also recommend adult nappies to me. Some people obviously planned a long session in the chair
They’ve used this strategy since the early days in their Amazon Book store. There’s a documentary on it with a young geeky awkward look Jeff on there.
Considering that they are still using this strategy decades later. I think it’s working.
**Every single day** I get this notification, except for the odd occasion when it suggests dog food instead.
My recent one was “We thought you’d like a new Guitar”
I mean, fair enough, who am I to argue.
God knows what they think of me. I order booze and cat food lol
Who orders pepsi on Amazon?
My mother bought nutritional supplements for one of her horses a while ago. Since then, it has constantly suggested supplements for humans.
I once bought a toilet seat from amazon. Now it suggests them to me constantly. Some of them on a subscribe and save.
I’ve had this **exact** notification every day for the last 10 days now (except one day where it suggested a brand called American Tourister instead). No Mr Bezos, I will not be buying vitamins from you any time soon.
I have been getting a similar notification, but mine is for breakfast cereal, every single day this week.
As far as I can remember I haven’t bought or searched for anything even vaguely related to cereal.
“You sure do love drinking Pepsi. Maybe eat a vegetable once in a while” — Amazon
I’ve been getting this exact same notification every day for a couple of weeks now. No idea why.
The poor amazon (or evri / Royal mail, if reassigned) delivery driver!
No doubt boxed in a weak standard amazon perforated box that doest fit properly so moving internal weight etc.. Should make handles out of tape imho instead
A few years ago I spent £500 on random alcohol as my sister’s Christmas present, it’s all Amazon have been recommending to me since. I don’t even drink…
They always recommend me what I just ordered. So according to Amazon, I should have 2 55 inch TVs (and with my old one that would be 3).
48 cans of Coke Zero arrived for me last week and I’ve been getting the same notification but for tea.
