Wauw seemed like they really looking out for their users from the bottom of their hearth. Did they use that info to provide daily motivational messages or changed the personal algorithm to push less content that causes negative emptions… Or did they figure out its yet another demographic that can get triggered into an action/purchase from a wel designed ad?

In some of my worse moments, Amazon has genuinely recommended me a "these things bought together" purchase of a tank of helium, a plastic tube, and a tank regulator. Corporations will do literally anything for money.

They're not wrong that those things are bought together, unfortunately.
