Some sometimes i usually find myself going into amazon and searching through online to buy something but often it ends up being an doom scrolling , it feels like an mall where we can find everything at one place without moving out the home , but i felt that while doing the doom scrolls amazon is quietly learning about me .
It knowns the books i am curious about , the brand i am interested in ,every thing was being studied , and i felt that it builds me as an shopper , the home page felt more relatable which makes me to go through it . IT excites me in some ways but also it is kinda of disturbing

honest question: if you stopped clicking on recommendations, would amazon even notice or just keep going?

yeah the 'builds me as a shopper' thing is real. amazon's definitely shaping what you want to buy, not just showing you options

idk i get it tho. like the personalization is nice, but knowing they know you THAT precisely is weird. both true at once
