Since lockdown and pandemic, my online ads have gone crazy: more intensive, bizarre, unpredictable, speculative.
At the moment there's several things that come up time and time again: weighted blankets, which I hardly knew existed, and muscle massage tools, likewise.
What are they thinking, I wonder? Do they have me down as an anxious person in need of comfort? Not wholly inaccurate I suppose, but I've never purchased or even googled any product to that end. As for muscle massagers, I'm no health freak, I just do a few online exercise classes now and then, but I can't be alone in that at the moment.
It seems to me the technology understands me even less than usual – but maybe it knows something I don't know?
