“We need all your info for advertising, not you can’t opt out unless you make an account and give us your email. Oops, looks like I hid the opt-out under a subheader. Amazon is now profiling you.”

Me: goes to website to use its function
website popup: “Oh, you’re using your cell phone to visit me! I look WAY better in an app!”

Me: goes to website on a computer made from parts from before the website and my cellphone existed
website: “Hey thanks for logging in, lets get to work”
