What kind of ads or ‘suggested’ content gets pushed to you the most on the internet? Make up your new identity based on the ad/suggested content you get served the most.

Algorithm(s) thinks I’m a menopausal Latina woman who loves cats, and wants to drive a truck/SUV. I also get a ton of of the ‘is your boyfriend/husband abusing you?’ type of therapy-talk content, which is hilarious.

Most of my ads are for menstrual products and std/hormone pharma drugs, then it’s a mix of cat/pet product ads and lots of truck/suv ads. At least 1/3 are in spanish.

Only one of these that is remotely accurate is I do have a cat.

    I have no idea, I never see ads, apart from when I’m shopping online and can’t avoid them. Then, I treat the online store the same way I treat a brick and mortar store--get what I want, and get out. No browsing.

    They probably have a pretty accurate model of me, though. They know what I buy.
