So, advertising the things I have already bought? Not sure thats gonna be super successful...

[-] missphant 45 points 10 months ago

Amazon has done that for the past 2 decades and it has somehow worked.

We noticed you bought a fridge yesterday. Are you interested in these fridges, too?

Perhaps more like what fridge companies do via incessant water filter replacement reminders: Enjoying your Super Deluxe CoolPlus™ Fridge? Don't forget to check out the CoolPlus™ Fridge Magnetic Spice Rack and CoolPlus™ Fridge Juice Dispenser Add-on!

Also enjoy your device randomly breaking every few years.

At some point the bigwigs will realize that a working item is worth more in future potential ad dollars than a broken one with a limited 1 year warranty and start asking their engineers why quality is so bad.

They did that like 60 years ago. Then they stopped.

Has it worked? Its never led to a repeat purchase for me. :/

Maybe they won't suggest things you already bought, but will estimate what you're going to buy next, based on the statistical analysis of people who bought the same things.

Yeah it’s more like, hey you just bought stabilizing jacks and a water hose for a travel trailer. You must have just bought a new camper. Let’s bombard you with add for stick-up-hooks, rv-mattress sized sheets, cheap plastic dishes, etc.
