Aha! Targeted advertising. And I love it.

Just now I saw an ad for Parts Express on MyLot. Parts Express is where I buy raw speakers (woofers and tweeters), capacitors, and such like for my speaker projects. Earlier this morning, I visited the Parts Express website in search of some new RCA cables for my main stereo. I even called someone there and was able to get advice about which cables to choose. When I came back to MyLot just now, I saw the big ol' ad for Parts Express on MyLot. I wish I would get more targeted ads on MyLot! It totally works for me. I do not need breast enhancement (actually I haven't seen a breast enhancement ad in a long time). I do not need lotions and potions for my creepy skin (or however it's spelled). But I DO like researching stereo gear and guitars. After I post this, I'm going to go to the Guitar Center website, troll around, and hope that I get Guitar Center and Sweetwater (online guitar seller) ads. After that, I will visit LL Bean's website. I need some new sheets (to please @Vandana7) and want to see what they have right now. Do you get targeted ads? Do you ever visit websites so you can see ads (on MyLot and elsewhere) that are relevant to you? Maybe I am a sick sick man.

Guitar Center has a website now? That's cool cause sites are profitable and maybe they'll be able to afford to pay their guitar salespeople commission now.

I think they do. Maybe it's a R*ssian bot, trying to gather information about me and my guitar searches.

LOL...you really are a brat. I remember how you teased ElusiveButterfly with that bed sheet topic. Poor thing she thought it was internal matter between us, and you went on letting her believe that. You are a naughty brat. LOL Let us see the designs though. Your selection should be pleasant to look at.

@TheHorse Agreed. Then you can pee and poop, the stains wouldn't be visible. You live in hot part of your country, right? Light colors would feel pleasant I felt. But your tastes and my tastes are so different in bed sheets. You like bold checks. I like light multiple colored stripes or geometric designs...or flowers etc. My dad has your tastes...I have a couple that he selected. They are atrocious.

It is a bit creepy, isn't it? But it's only bots that are watching us. And bots don't judge. They just try sell you sh*t offered by people who pretend to be on some moral high ground.
