Amazon started showing me ads for appliances and I’m worried they know something about my washing machine that I don’t.

There's a good chance Amazon has been inside your house and inspected your washing machine without your knowledge or consent...

FWIW, there's no way JARVIS doesn't rock a bleeding-edge filtration suite, but I feel ya on this every time I have to use someone else's device.
FFS, humans. How do y'all live like that?! 🥹

Targeted ads worked much better when they were about the page you were looking at.

Ah, no problem. They are also selling your data to companies planning to replace you at work and companies doing automatic target-determination for military all over the world.

Me - Buys one hairdryer
ADs for the next 3 weeks - HEY DO YOU WANT A HAIRDRYER!
How many hairdryers do they think a gal buys??!!
10-15 years ago:
Me: Buys a gaming PC
Ads: Here's a local pizza delivery service. Want to order?
Fine, somewhat related at least.
Today:
Me: Buys a gaming PC
Ads: what about this gaming PC? Or that one? Maybe this upgrade kit (worse specs than what I bought) is interesting? Like this PSU/CPU/RAM/graphics card/...? Hot gamer singles in your area want to...
Ah, fuck Off!

Marketing is all about explaining why it's a good thing that your campaign have negative ROI and about taking credits for things that would happen even without the ads. The rest is hype.
I am convinced that about one-half the money I spend for advertising is wasted, but I have never been able to decide which half.
https://quoteinvestigator.com/2022/04/11/advertising/Personally, it has always struck me that half is wildly optimistic. Still, (frustratingly) it seems the case that some marketing is correlated with some success in business.

I bought myself anew mirror for my bathroom and anew shower head and I’ve been getting countless ads for beauty products and treatments to look better and feel sexy. FYI I’m a 42 year old man that’s on the chubby side… really helping me out with my low self esteem there algorithm…

There is a fairly good evidence that marketing works at awareness phase - as long as you need to inform people that you exist, it works. Once you pass this threshold marketing increase the sales, but not on the rate that justify the cost. Every natural experiment (when the ads were not launched by accident in some region or chanell) suggest brands like Coca-cola are loosing money on their marketing. It's a chinken game mixed with the king is naked game, where no one want to be a guy who say "maybe you pay us too much". Aka bubble. -

I block ads in most places so I very rarely see them at this point so I think this dumps me onto some junk category as when the occasional as does get through they're nuts.
Like this one I got earlier today:

Do you wash your car every 6 months? You've gotta be rich! I wash my car only when I can't recognize it by its color anymore.

Making people think that seeing ads that interest them is a concession from the ad industry, to the point that people actively try to help advertisers sell more effectively to them by opting in to it, is the greatest piece of bullshittery I've ever seen in all of human history. I've never seen a more successful grift before or since. Jeffrey Epstein's blackmail scheme involving the world's billionaires has nothing on this reprehensible shit. You gotta admire it, despite it being pure unadulterated evil, regardless of whether or not it's actually effective in the end. The fact remains, we accepted this hilariously-transparent con into our lives with open arms and actually complain when it's not performing well enough.
