Not just what you buy, but what you search, what items you look at on other websites, and correlating data with demographic information that is either “lying around” or supplemented with targeted surveys to fill out the profile.
human attention is a finite resource. what does capitalism call those? externalities. what does it do with them? carves them up and destroys them for profit.
Unless they are locked until the ad finishes then there is a solution. The solution is to open every single door and leave them open. These freezer doors stay open for easy restocking by fully opening them until they click, just do that or jam something into the locking mechanism.

The only ad I actually remember seeing recently was a ad for the CRV and that was just because I was like"why is the CRV a station wagon now?"
I might just become much worse at steering my cart around these.

I genuinely believe most ads are ABLEIST because they’re so distracting.
