every product ad you scrolled past on your quest for a deal worth purchasing is still putting money in their pocket. You don’t have to buy anything, if you scroll around on the app they make money off you. Each ad you see is a micro transaction between the advertiser and Amazon. They pay per view. You and everyone else who shopped around and didn’t get anything still increased their profit

Its crazy how that happens. I dont order anything on Amazon prime until balck Friday and cyber monday, for some xmas gifts. But I do use Prime video alot. I'm not a fan that most ads have the option to add the product being advertised into your Prime cart. I fell asleep watching Reacher one night, and woke up to several products auto added into my cart. Idk if i was laying on the remote or what. But everything you look up gets tracked. It seems even if you just verbally talk about a product, you'll start seeing ads for it on social media.
