Fuck AI

It's that, and thank you for adding that clarification, but it's also about breaking affiliate links unless I specifically want to use one, and about breaking linked tracking: big data titans like Amazon are all selling our data to each other. If Amazon has no idea why I bought something, that's one less piece of my data they can sell off, one less piece of data that can be used to infer my political leanings or my health situation to better manipulate me, etc. Though to be clear, I'm pretty sure the Karl Marx and Che Guevara t-shirts and Preparation H I bought for jury duty took care of much of the latter.

The rest I already stated:

This way if I just look at something out of curiosity I don’t have to see it again in recommendations for the rest of my life, or ever, and they can’t fuck around with prices on items in Save for Later just because they know I want to buy it. It also makes spotting price variations between what they’re offering registered users and what they’re offering everyone else immediately obvious.
