    Right? Of all the things Amazon should know about me, how does it only know that I like to buy things I’ve bought off Amazon? Is it because I don’t use an Alexa or have Fire tablets?

    Like “invested in the Nintendo Switch.” Yeah, of course they’d know that. There’s no “is a dweeb” or “bought Catherine: Full Body” or anything fun like that. “Bought ND filters for a camera.” The weirdest one claims I buy “high end” audio equipment when I bought one of their cheapest pre-amps.

      No. I have multiple Alexa’s, a fire stick, and used to have multiple Fire tablets. Maybe they actually follow through when you set preferences to not track
