    Have you noticed that the targeted advertising from Amazon, eBay , etc. is deeply flawed?

     

    They don't understand the difference between being interested in the GWR (like me for instance) and general interest in railways. So I keep getting offers for books about the Southern or the LMS, or heaven forbid, BR! (Urgh! :wink_mini:) 

     

    It's like sending an Arsenal supporter offers for Man City merchandise!

     

    I think this is a major failing for modern deep-profiled marketing and it should be sorted out!

      I once worked for one of the biggest motorcycle dealerships in Europe.  I wasnt particularly surprised when I was told our service receptionist had been one of Back Street Heroes 'Readers Wives'.  The skirts she wore were so short it was difficult to find a safe place to look when she bent over the photocopier.

      Perhaps that should have been Friendly/supportive?

      Due to the number of adverts for Riley & Son that I have seen, I assume that the algorithms are also unable to distinguish between a desire to repair my 4mm:1ft locomotives and a desire to repair my 12inch:1ft locomotives.
