I can't seem to say this often enough. Stop hooking your televisions to the internet...

That doesn’t aime why Amazon is able to use your LinkedIn data to target you with ads at all.

This is it. This is always the answer.

I block any sort of ad and tracker on everything in my house, they might be trying to show "targeted" ads but I'll never see them and their data will always be wrong.

Fuck em.

Jokes on you, I neither have a TV or use any paid streaming platforms.
