Amazon's annoying recommendations.

[Kablooie]

Amazon seems to think that if you buy a watch, you immediately want to buy more watches. If you buy a microwave oven it offers up more ovens for you to add to your collection every time you open the page.

Why don't they use a small bit of logic in what they display as recommendations?
Recommendations can be useful if they make sense but I don't want my arm lined with watches or 10 microwaves in my kitchen.

1. Imagine if you bought a casket

2. I noticed that recently when I bought a stapler.

Now I see a wonderful variety of staplers in my suggestions.

3. I LOVE those recommendations; they make me laugh - but it isn't just Amazon

Whatever business you buy from on line does it -"customers who purchased what you just purchased also purchased - ALL.THIS.STUFF" I think "Good for them" and log out.

4. I look at them and wonder...

who are these people who buy a stapler and then think I'm going to buy this stapler and this other stapler too.

5. "and on the next installment of Hoarders..."

6. I have noticed that too

A few months ago I bought a refrigerator filter through them and that is all they recommend for me now. Apparently a guy can never have enough refrigerator filters for models he doesn't own.

7. As someone who is typing this on her fifth kindle...

There are reasons for that though and I won't bore you with them! I buy stuff for my rabbit on Amazon and you would think they believe that's all I do is raise bunnies. I also bought my mother-of-the-bride dress through Amazon back in August. Apparently they believe I dress in that hideous fashion every day. While breeding rabbits.

10. Hey, who are they to judge?

8. I've wondered that myself.

Hey, Amazon, I just bought a toaster. Why are you showing me more toasters? What makes you think I want to buy another one right after buying the first one? I no longer need a toaster because I just bought one.

9. Amazon recommendations seems to think

that "The Girl on the Train" is a travel book.

11. kmart is just as bad.

I bought a pair of underwear from them. Now if I open their app, the first thing I get is a giant closeup of a woman's crotch.
