So, advertising the things I have already bought? Not sure thats gonna be super successful...
Amazon has done that for the past 2 decades and it has somehow worked.
We noticed you bought a fridge yesterday. Are you interested in these fridges, too?
Perhaps more like what fridge companies do via incessant water filter replacement reminders: Enjoying your Super Deluxe CoolPlus™ Fridge? Don't forget to check out the CoolPlus™ Fridge Magnetic Spice Rack and CoolPlus™ Fridge Juice Dispenser Add-on!
Also enjoy your device randomly breaking every few years.
At some point the bigwigs will realize that a working item is worth more in future potential ad dollars than a broken one with a limited 1 year warranty and start asking their engineers why quality is so bad.

They did that like 60 years ago. Then they stopped.
Gonna catch'em all!
