I hope everyone has added this to their file about Jeff Bezos
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos had Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell attend his private, invitation-only, weekend at a resort he rented out. Bezos also has numerous private dinners with Epstein. They were good friends.
Heh. Just logged in to my Amazon account (which I seldom use) and it’s got nothing on me… which is JUST how I like it! Guess ticking all the privacy and security settings and using ad-blockers and a super edited hosts file (Dan Pollock’s - for decades now…) and using throwaway email accounts for all of this shit is working!
Niiiice.
Everyone getting mad that they made a profile about you, but nobody acknowledging that you can edit the info and make them believe crazy things about you.
Shortly after the Amazon suggestions:
this is the way. there is claude skill designed for that kind of shenanigans.
As a normal person, huh?
dunno
“orders a bizarre amount of soap”
The one that got me was “probably has a husband who doesn’t like lotion”
I always figured Amazon knew the most about me because what you buy probably says more about you than what you search. Like Google may think I’m a raving lunatic but Amazon knows I am a householder and what I use. So I was honestly pretty relieved most of it was very general except that oddball example above.
Sorta thought this thread would be full of people saying “I dont even have an Amazon account”. Makes me sad.
I have one collecting dust. I could delete it but it never gets used and they’ll profile me anyway. Last purchase was in February 2020. I’ve always hated amazon because of where I grew up and other reasons, but seeing how warehouse workers were treated during the pandemic was the tipping point for me. Convenience is like a drug, and going cold turkey was pretty fucking hard honestly. But it’s become easier over time. I will never give another red fucking cent to Borzo.
I don’t got one but in the off chance I can only find it on amazon, I use another person’s account
Honestly I wish I didn’t. I don’t have a google account. Don’t have any Meta accounts. Don’t have accounts for basically anything I’m not functionally REQUIRED to have (banking for example). But Amazon is hard to avoid. I do a lot of buying in person, but in person shopping is just horrible these days. You need to find something specific and you are screwed. I do try to find other places online to get something when I can but a lot of times I just have to fall back to amazon. Maybe part of it is just the area I’m in though. Tons of the more specialty stores here have closed down. We don’t even have an electronics store anymore after Best Buy closed.
I’ve had the privilege to live in economically robust (relatively speaking lol) environments, which has helped a lot in my mission to avoid them. I’ve been able to do it but I’ve also been lucky. Keep the fire alive, keep searching for alternatives. But damn do I feel for your situation, not even having a basic electronics type store is pretty rough.
Well there’s a walmart that has electronics stuff but at that point you may as well just buy from Amazon anyway lmao
amazon is backbone service of the internet dude.
Is there a way to see what companies use AWS?
No. Only way to not use AWS is to not use the internet at all.
It’s like saying how to use the internet without Akami or Cloudflare… you aren’t in 2026.
Yeah, so what’s your point dude?
they let you on AWS servers even if you’re not signed into Prime lmao
For now…
If someone wants to generate a database of Lemmy users preference, this comment section is a much cheaper way than setting up an entire company like Amazon.
You mean Jeff Bezos became a billionair for nothing? That guy must really feel like a loser now.
I’ve gone through and deleted everything as a matter of principle.
Hahahaha… now I’m kind of sad I deleted my account after Amazon kept trying to scam me by offering me free Amazon prime. They would give me a month free, then like 10 days, then only like 3 days, hoping I would forget and have to be charged for it. When they finally caught me out, I just told them to fuck off and deleted my account. Never liked their other predatory practices, like how they would plagiarise and sell existing products for dirt cheap and label them Amazon Basics… And then when companies would go out of business. They would bring up the prices. I guess you don’t get that wealthy without stepping on a lot of people.
I can’t get enough Boris detritus
I also enjoy what happened to the Tories
You guys have Slavery – The Company accounts?
This!!!
Fully erase and delete that shit immediatly!
I was expecting to be horrified but mine actually made me feel pretty good lol
I prefer Anker USB devices, I grow plants as a hobby, and I consistently maintain dog supplies!
The only thing it got wrong is it thinks I have kids. But I guess I only really use amazon to get stuff for my dog and my sister’s kids so that’s no surprise
Mine thinks I keep impulsively buying stuff to maintain an organized workshop because I manage to keep an organized workshop, when the reality is it’s full of half-finished organization projects cluttering up the whole space.
“Master Craftsman”
has a cat, drinks coffee, plays guitar.
This is WAY off, I play bass.
Shocking!
But bass is the best kind of guitar!
All that spying and they can’t even get that right, fucking useless.
I am proud of my Beyblade collection, lol.
I wanna see your beyblade collection
They pegged me as someone who reads cheap ebooks, only reads Dungeon Crawler Carl, pretty much buys only D&D battle mat books, and shops from womens departments. I’m a married male, but that last one had me laughing. I have bought things for my wife in the past.
I never deleted my account so I checked and the most it knew about me was like, playes pc games extensively and thats probably bc i purchased some pc components a long time back. Also said i make bread at home regularly. Jokes on you amazon that bread machine i bought that i always think about using more has sat unused for 2 months
