โฒ 126 โผ Why are tech company's so interested in my boring ass data? (lemmy.world) submitted 2 years ago* by Daft_ish@lemmy.world to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml 93 comments fedilink hide all child comments Like why do they care how many times I go to porn hub every day or that nothing gets me harder than a free use MILF? Why do they care that I don't know how to spell consistency so I have to Google it every 3 months. What the fuck is wrong with people?

Pennies below a dollar, per annum, in order to get a dollar back as the beneficiary, on average. It would be tiny fractions of a penny per dollar if you just look at the individual action that causes a purchase, but either it's the accumulated effect of a lot of actions over time, or it's a gamble that doesn't work the vast majority of the time, so you're back to the standard ROI everything has. It's not just marked ads, by the way. A lot of the stuff that happens with that data is invisible, although I can't say how much exactly. permalink fedilink source parent
