Amazon currently predicts and suggests other products based on your buying
habits, although they don't go so far as to send them to you unordered.

For that matter, your cell phone hears conversations and then the next time
you use social media you will see advertising for whatever products you
discussed.

I don't think they need Tik Tok's algorithm that badly.
