Thanks for the reminder, I still had one of those messages waiting for me...

Same! As an introvert it is not easy though.

While I agree that advertisers go much too far, the 650k labels figure used here is a bit manipulative. They make it seem like the advertisers have 650k different bits of information on everyone, but clearly they don't.

The examples they provide of labels show that they are combinations of multiple things. For example they show a label "France + Land Rover", which really are two different bits of information combined into one label. If they would have an exhaustive list of all countries (about 200) and the most popular car brands (let's say about 20), that would be around 4000 labels, or 0.6% of the 650k labels. If they add a third characteristic, that number would explode.

Yes... But what about the 4k version? Surely you have heard of that?

Thank you! That helps a lot to make sense of things!

Wow, that's amazing! Did you need to something weird to get that result? I have been considering getting a 600mm lens for a while now, is that really all it takes to get these kinds of results?

Am I the only one who thinks of maggots when I see this? Thank you, you have ruined my pooping time.
