Re: Amazon's brain dead marketing...
A few months ago I bought a laptop from B Almost immediately after placing the order I started getting ads from B for the exact same laptop that I had just bought from them. The ads kept coming for weeks. It doesn't bother me but seemed like an inexplicable advertising strategy. Mark On 7/14/2021 12:57 PM, P. J.

Product recommendations are auto-sent based on what you’ve looked at on Amazon. I occasionally find the recommendations helpful. I sometimes get too many but it doesn’t really trouble me.

Amazon's brain dead marketing...
Once again Amazon proves how brain dead their marketing is... Why it's almost Pentax level, in fact I should take back calling it "brain dead" as that's an insult to the brain dead. I say this because I've just pulled the trigger on a 27" monitor sold under the Philips brand, not the highest resolution but 124% sRGB IPS, which should be a major improvement over my current monitor for color matching, which until the death of my last 24" monitor sat on the shelf as a backup. Within hours, actually less than two hours, of ordering the new monitor, I get an email from Woot, a wholly owned subsidiary of Amazon for what? Why a 27" monitor of course, for more money, with a much narrower color gamut. What the hell do they think I'm going to do buy another of them? If I were going to do that I'd get a second of the same model.
