I already call Bezos a bald pedo fucktard so it goes both ways.

You guys didn't delete that crap yet?

After shopping a lot from them for 22 years now, what a letdown:

I don't use Amazon more than maybe twice a year so all they say about me is the town I live in (duh, that's where they send my orders), that I buy men's clothes, and own a honda.

According to the screenshots, there should be an "About You" button at the bottom of this page, but personally I don't see it (I'm in the EU). https://www.amazon.it/slc/hub

For the record: the "About You" button will not appear unless you set your language to English. I use Spanish by default, that's why I saw nothing at first

Since I noticed alexa was mentioned here is the firefox addon that removes it from amazon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adios-alexa/

It knows the brand of shoes I buy from them, that I buy in bulk for consumables and that I have a dog.

Mine reads like Ms. Casey’s outies affirmations

[–] Pratai@piefed.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

None of those options are available for me on iOS. So, no idea what website she was going to.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Why are they almost all dated yesterday though? It isn't from anything I did or changed.

[–] Impractical_Island@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Mine said I'm a pedophile. I'm very insulted. That's not the right word. I just look at all the feet products! Toe creases are the meaning of life, ok!

[–] cardfire@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Okay, I can say with 100% certainty that many of the data points they publish on me are details I packed into Amazon product reviews, as I participate in Amazon Vine.

I recognize the Expressions I used, and know the anecdotes I pulled from. I'm not saying it's the only source, but they have over 500 entries in the stack here that I'm looking at, as I'm deleting them one at a time I'm remembering what reviews they're associated with.
