Why do this? Because surveillance capitalism wants you to be less free. It wants you to be glued to the screen. It wants you to buy whatever advertisers want you to buy. But you can fight back by deliberately poisoning your data.

YouTube keeps showing me ads for surrogacy (as in, being a surrogate), which could not be more the opposite of what I want to do in life. Obviously they know I am a woman of childbearing age, but somewhere the algorithm got me very wrong. I just let the ads play though, to let them think the idea doesn’t repulse me beyond anything I can imagine.
yeah it kinda makes me happy when the ads are wrong and I sure don’t want to correct my profile.
Lol the algorithms are lost on me. I don’t even do much to avoid it, I’m just weird as fuck!
