I try to look on the bright side these days. Can't wait to find out all the weird stuff LinkedIn knows or has completely wild-ass guessed about me!
And by the way, recently YouTube has been serving me exclusively Spanish-language ads. I am probably 0% Hispanic ethnically and have no knowledge of Spanish. Would be cool to get a data leak that shows what's up with that!
I started having a similar issue with Spotify a couple years ago. Eventually I discovered that someone else was using my (free) account to listen to bunch of Spanish-language music that I'd never heard of. I don't think my Spotify recommendations ever recovered.
LOL, w-a-y b-a-c-k when it was only your name and address that was sold to marketers and the spam was snail mail, friends and I would sing up for things, order catalogs etc. using a different name each time. Then when the junk mail came you knew who sold you out.
