Please Stop Trying to Sell Me What I Just Bought!

Vegetable Steamer from Amazon
Nina has been looking for a few days for a particular vegetable steamer. We didn’t find it anywhere. We were at one of the Walmart Super Centers I called up the image on Amazon.com and asked some Walmart employees if they had it in the store. They didn’t, so I placed the Amazon One-Click order.

By the time We got home, the same thing showed up in my Facebook feed. It’s on my Instagram feed as well. Why do they do that? I’ve already purchased the item. I don’t need another one, but Nina might be interested in similar cooking stuff. I just put the image from the item on the left … I didn’t include the link because you probably don’t want to click on it and suddenly have your Facebook feed filled with advertisements for it!

Amazon isn’t the only one who does that! In fact, they’re not even the worst offenders. Banggood, the purveyor of everything Chinese, fills my computer with advertisements for everything I looked at with preference for the couple of items I actually purchased. Over and over again. I like Banggood, I just wish they weren’t so aggressive about trying to sell me what I’ve already purchased.
