Anyone used to online shopping  will know the bit about " when buying this item, other customers also bought....." with (sometimes  helpful) suggestions.

I was browsing for a new TV earlier, and had a look at Asda. After the tv details, the " other customers also  bought" suggestions were........

A pound of bacon
And
A packet of ibuprofen tablets.

Maybe they have been inspired by Amazon. See ''About this item.''  Its been there for months. :rolleyes:

Obviously someone wanted to eat a bacon butty when watching TV then afterwards after watching too much TV had a headache  :D

Just for a laugh, I tried this on Amazon, and as well as having lube (not strawberry flavour) in the "frequently bought together" section, they also suggested under "accessories" a bottle of multi-vitamins with selenium
Just as I thought the fun was over, I scrolled down further to discover they
offered a subscription service - you can get a box of 40 delivered every 6 months, which is, apparently, the most asked for!

Some algorithms are better than others. Some are worse. Watch a top movie on streaming and it doubtless recommends a load of shitty ones just based on genre. Sometimes it’s phrased as “We thought you might like…”  If that were a robot we’d reply, “Bollocks you stupid piece of junk, you don’t ‘think’, you’re just a gormless bunch of crappy circuits.”
