You were tracked, they observed your search history and listened to your phone or smart TV. That data filtered down to set your price to what they think you will pay. There is nothing deterministic about it. That isn’t everyone’s price, that is just your price.

It is a scam that is as old as recording words on scrolls in ancient times. People used to use weighted scales to do the exact same thing. We live in a criminal world with extreme corruption just under the surface. There is a reason it is so profitable to data mine. Probably sounds crazy to most people, but all you have to do is a little bit of digging and reading. Phones just work. Yet they are actually whole operating system connected to the internet. This is possible because app developers have a tremendous amount of freedom to configure everything for you. You’re not admin. You are actually their equal. You both have the same access. They are actually whole users on your device, with you all the time. This is the reason everyone wants you to run their apps. Your TV and remote have a microphone, and the remote batteries die super quickly right. Actually read the legalise agreement. It is recording everything to data mine you. Your car is doing the same.

It is only $8 for people that haven’t talked about or mentioned it to anyone and when the data points at $8 causing them to pull the trigger when they wouldn’t spend more.
