Technically you still paid money, j just not a meaningful amount compared to your total.

Yeah I'm just not sure how it has cookies since I used tubular...

I guess it's in the same category as those automatic ads that say "cop this look" and offer to sell you products that appear in a photo on a website.

It's interesting to me that they scan the video, and then know that I watched it (on tubular) when I'm visiting a completely unrelated website in a different browser, and serve me an ad there.

It was on screen for a few seconds and not the point of the video.

Neither the video, nor the ad were on Lemmy. The ad was an automated ad on a random article I found on Lemmy. The kind where behind the scenes, the ad vendor auctions off the space and your information to the bot that's the highest bidder

I haven't seen it in the comments yet, except for my comment that I had seen an ad for it.

I doubt this because it is not a product people would buy in any volume, and was just used to illustrate a random point. Also the video has been out less than 24 hours. I don't think it's likely in this case.

But on the other hand, if millions of people watch something, I guess some percentage will buy the thing they see... huh.

Thanks for this suggestion.

Wait a second, how would Anker/Amazon know that people who watch the video are likely to buy that item? Would Google send Amazon the exact watch history of each customer and they identify videos in common?

Does the thickness of the case increase the heat byproduct of wireless charging?

No

If you build it they will come
