So if you’re envying my advertising diet and asking “hey kontext, what’s the new thing in rich-people home appliances?” it is taking cottagecore fresh-fetishism to the point of having power microgarden cabinets in your kitchen, with lighting and water and fertilizer and nutrients all fuzzy-logiced
Woah, just got offered a $3000 set of lawn furniture
Also since I started outfitting the house from Amazon and some delivery furniture places, Facebook is showing ads for stuff that really appeals to me and not high payoff/low probability business opportunities and contracting equipment
Just got an ad for a wood-burning USB charger
I suppose with AI getting so good, with money at stake I shouldn’t be surprised the Facebook ad algorithm always knows exactly what detail and motif I’m thinking of for home renovation right now
Oh, okay, they’re argon capsules from a system that preserves half-consumed wine bottles by displacing the air and preventing oxidation, I thought Crate & Barrel was selling me poppers. (Given the traditional use of this Facebook ad format with something ??? in the first slot to get your attention, the confusion was likely intentional.)
One of the benefits of Facebook thinking you’re rich is you get advertised all the cutting-edge stuff, I have now seen stuff from three different groups that are apparently racing to make Hitman-Situs-Invertus robot-cook systems
Have to double-check exactly what’s up when a Facebook ad invites me to a developer conference on new code these days
“Clergy for a New Drug Policy” out here showing me Facebook ads invoking the Good Friday Experiment
Realizing that only some of the M:tG ads I’ve been getting tons of on Facebook is keying off me having any connection with Magic before in my life, some was – starting after they boosted ad volume and before they started running crypto ads – as a nontraditional asset class, keying off the algorithm the same way as all the other weird investments it pitches
(I’m an accredited investor, don’t you know. One wise enough to realize that in such a return-hungry market the good deals aren’t advertising to find you)
So the “Facebook advertising thinks I’m some sort of real estate industry contractor” and “Facebook advertising is always one step ahead of what I’m thinking to redo this house inside” have crossed over and all these places are clocking me as an interior decorator and inviting me into their trade programs, so in How The World Works news apparently I get 30% discounts on Upper Middle to Lower Upper Class furniture for being rich?
Facebook now pitching me some Hitman Situs Invertus-ass chef robot
Just got a Facebook ad for bonsai seeds. Bonsai… seeds.
The “oh this kid cares about Japan” on Facebook has apparently triggered to the point I am receiving every active Japan tourism campaign at once
I just want to point out that recently Facebook has been showing me groups very particularly tailored to my lifestyle and interests, ads relevant to the very specific home renovation phases I have been considering, and attractive friends-of-a-friend the friends involved say really would make fitting romantic partners for me, its algorithms are on fire lately
The “thinks I’m maybe a hobby farmer” ads on Facebook have now got to technology that’s obviously spun off from hydroponic marijuana farming
Once Facebook ads think you’re operating at a small business owner level they become entirely new kinds of WTF
Just god an ad for services to transfer an entire set of Pokémon ever made on Facebook. I swear, that update that started pushing crypto didn’t just raise ad volume it just accepts sketchier ones. I dunno if this is an effect of raising volume so they can sell my eyeballs to cheaper advertisers, but yes it tangibly feels less friendly for it.
Facebook now advertising me payday loan places alongside the ones that assume I run a landscape construction crew, think that last update’s still working through some things.
