    Yea, but it’s more devious than that. Technology making it possible micro target groups and individuals get kinda scary. If I know enough about you, I can almost convince you if anything. All top tier marketing peeps know this.

      Only if you are of the mindset that it is bad originally. It’s like how Tucker Carlson can make immigrants seem scary.

      This is not how targeted ads work, and doesn’t really seem to be true. It stands to reason that a lot of progressive young people know a lot about their conservative parents or grandparents and yet cannot convince them of anything.
