Mine says I like Star Wars and photography. So yes, I too have no friends.
The moment that Amazon not only blocked my account from ordering after some payment hiccups, but also that of my girlfriend, who was living at a different place at the time, was the moment I disabled my Amazon account completely.
I at the time also had a look into what I could find in the settings about what they still stored about me:
They still had my detailed order history dating back to 1996, when I first used the service to buy books, giving a nice, very personal overview about what topics I had been interested in over the decades.
This has been in 2011 already, so unfortunately nothing new.
And her reaction, posting under her full name btw, is "Haha they're right"?
Some people deserve to have their identities stolen...
Mine seemed horribly out of date. Had constantly buys liquid death, but I havent in years since they switched to stevia. Also got constantly upgrading PC storage, not in 2026. Everything else was has work shop, likes precision tools, has a fujifilm camera, has fender guitar, works on guitar, upgraded server rack, invested in raspberry pi ecosystem. Most of what would give them that data was from accessory purchases, as the big purchase was probably local (guitar, camera). None of those aside from guitar strings would have been bought in 2026.
Mine just says I like analog and vintage photography stuff and lacy and shiny clothes. Neither of which are very shocking.

"Invests in waterproof bed protection"
adds "Successful Investor" to resumé
damn... they said I'm a virign with small dick. very insulting
Non issue. The crap I do buy there is defined perfectly. Nothing even remotely like my ass is flat. Sigh
I looked at mine, it didn't have anything insulting, but it had a lot of outdated stuff which makes sense as I cut my Amazon usage down to almost nothing since a couple of years ago.
This is the only thing that isn't "likely interested in electronics [because I buy some niche parts off amazon]" or "likely uses [brand of phone I have occasionally bought screen protectors for]"
Aaaaaand it's wrong! So, a little disappointed there. Was hoping for something super judgemental. Man though, it'd be interesting to see what this service would make of my lemmy profile...
ha! mine ain't got shit!
Nothing under mine. There's a place where I can input that kind of information, but everything is empty. Maybe this is unique to US America?
