      The last time I trusted “the algorithm” was about 10 years ago when my friend sent me a link to a plastic ass sex toy. I clicked it without realising what it was.

      I cleared cache/cookies/reinstalled and shit a few times and it was still popping up on banner ads.

        Before I figured out DNS adblocking I clicked on an ad for a golden top my news app served because I thought it for sure it was a clever ad for some parody site. Nope, turns out you can buy executive desk toys tops for like 200 bucks, and for months my app thought I was really into expensive office kitsch.

          Get really into 3D printing like I did. Then all your cheap-looking plastic crap can actually be expensive office kitsch in disguise.
