No, I wouldn’t be, because I was talking about a random location which was indeed pretty unique. That said, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you, I’m a big fan.
I understand that’s the theory, but these situations were specifically not something that could be easily gleaned. We’re talking like reminiscing about things that happened in our pre internet youth that there’s no record of anywhere and that came up randomly in conversation. I’m definitely aware of the dynamic, even before ubiquity of the internet, it’s true that sometimes companies would know people were pregnant before the person did based on their purchasing profile. This wasn’t that though, there’s just no possible connection.
That happened a few times now, so pretty much nothing is going to convince me it’s not the case.
This was my understanding, but I just don’t believe it anymore. There have been way, way too many time my wife and I were talking about an incredibly niche thing that didn’t come up through the internet in any way, and lo and behold the algorithm presented those key words. Nobody will ever convince me it isn’t being done to some extent.
Sega Genesis. We got it with Revenge of Shinobi, a game I still play with a soundtrack to rival some of the best Nintendo stuff (a very high bar), and Power Monger, one of the real fathers of RTS that ignited my love for strategy games.
