    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!

      You Tube is similar.  I watch the NRL (Australian rugby league)  highlights and they seem to be convinced that means I want to watch footage of the Seekers (remember them?)  Even worse, I watch a few Jeremy Hardy clips and suddenly I get deluged with clips of Jim Davidson and Bernard Manning!

      No worse than the Google ads you get here when not logged in.  Keywords like "models" and "modelling" sometimes end up with young ladies in saucy poses...

       

      Ok, there are sometimes lingerie ads...  :whistle:
