Which is why I'm constantly being spammed with suggestions for Barbies on Amazon now.
I've found that after I bought a washing machine on Amazon, Amazon seems to believe that it makes sense to display ads for more washing machines.
Apparently in the experience of Amazon, kings of big data, people who have just purchased a large, expensive, and usually fairly long-lived household appliance are actively interested in buying another one of the same kind to a point where it makes sense to waste their attention span on washing-machine ads when they could just as easily be shown ads for detergent or drying racks. Go figure.
