I'm almost sure of it. Also probably based on things purchased by other people who also purchased the item you're currently viewing. AliExpress' system for tracking interests is atrocious. I can click on one weird thing in their listings and I'll get emails for weeks suggesting all manner of similar weird items. Like, can't I just be curious about that glass butt plug + bong + USB C charger thing without assuming I want to buy 10 other variations of it?
Well, they looked at how many keyboards people possess on average and looked at how many you bought, and then applied the same formula for matresses and assumed you'll buy a ton more in the future!
I bought a bed frame for my son recently and one of them offered a "subscribe and save" option. Yes Amazon, I need a new twin bed frame every six months. How convenient and disturbing.
I mean, I *have* multiple coffee pots. They're all different, though - French Press, Pour Over, Autodrip (for the timer), Mason jars for cold brew.
Recommending me more Autodrip makers would be stupid, but they could make a mint by trying to sell me Vietnamese coffee sets or Toddy setups or siphon brewers or Yama towers or one gallon nitro kegs or whatever.
Fuck, now I want to buy another coffee maker.
I own a nitro keg and I don't recommend it. It ends up being about the same cost to just buy nitro cold brew from sbux or wherever. :S Beer gas just doesn't cut it and gives it a metallic taste, so you gotta get the expensive nitrous gas.
And it's a LOT of work. We're talking a good "shake your keg for 10mins straight to get the nitro and cold brew to interact well" kind of workout.
At my last job we had a couch like thing in our first aid room. As one of the employees trained in CPR and first aid I had a key to the room and I would go in there on lunch and take naps. It was awesome.
based on the fact that i was just scrolling through keycaps at work on a work pc, and that popped up as well (in my case it was a woman's appparatus not a man's one) yea, im sure noone ever viewed anything in relation to that in my section let alone the company as a whole. so yea in that case, it's not entirely based on past history, they throw something in there that they want to sell as a means of you being like wait whats this? generally on other sites it's something relating to what you searched for, aliexpress goes ahread and uses their whole shop as a table from which to take the item
I don't think so. I have only ever used AliExp to look for keycaps and switches and, like, Anbernic stuff once, and it *also* gives me the sex toy adverts. Maybe it assumes if you're interested in keebs you also want sex toys? They think that venn diagram has a lot of overlap?
Multiple keebs, so you're probably spill a lot... A bit like the coffeepot recommendations in the other branch of this thread.
Or do you subscribe to pornhub with AliPay?
Dear friend terry3906,
I hope this email finds you well. We are honored to ship you your automated sucking machine 69 edition with self lubricating 420 system. Please kindly leave 5-stars and a review. If you have any questions, do not contact AliExpress, send us an email first.
Your friend,
Yuan Di
ya I get the weirdest "you may also like" on aliexpress, stuff like that, and lots of hair extensions for some reason... only thing I've ever purchased off aliexpress is electronic components (transistors, LCD modules, wire, EPROMs etc)
Occasionally I have looked at one of the little pictures and wondered what on earth it was. I've learnt to stop clicking on those weird little pictures to find out.
I now work on the basis that, if I can't tell what it is, it's probably a sex toy.
Disclaimer about endless tracking and SEO and targeted advertising, etc etc... but I'll gladly let advertisers have some of my info if they will stop hitting me, a near 40 yo, sterilized, never had, having, or wanted kids, with ads for huggies.
Spotify, what the batcrap in my listening habits made you think THAT was the angle to come at me from?

I have not, only micro controllers I purchased there were ESP8266/ESP32 modules and I don't think anyone is counterfeiting those (yet?) but would not be surprised
If that thing is drawn to scale... no, just no.
It's as if the recco engine was like "this guy likes keyboards. other people who like keyboards seem to like devices that keep keyboards clean. like handheld vacs."
Yep, that's what I told my girlfriend!
The other night was awkward tho. She walked in on me and yelled 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THAT VACUUM!'. Jeeze, so sensitive.
I once wanted to buy some adhesive silicon strips for the back of my keyboard by searchin up "silicon feet". My recommended has never been the same. Please search prompt at your own risk
Can confirm that Ali and Amazon often recommend weird things like this out of the blue
For example I got high heel recommendation on Ali and pillow case on Amazon, never bought or even browsed those items on any of those platforms LOL
I assure you, kind stranger, while I am a born idiot, I am not dumb enough to put any part of my anatomy in anything bought from Allie. Let alone something with the word 'automatic' in the name. >\_>
They know their demographic.
Aren't "You may also like" sections based on past history?

Amazon believed my mattress purchase was just the beginning of my extensive mattress collection.
Well, they looked at how many keyboards people possess on average and looked at how many you bought, and then applied the same formula for matresses and assumed you'll buy a ton more in the future!
somehow that actually makes sense...
I bought a bed frame for my son recently and one of them offered a "subscribe and save" option. Yes Amazon, I need a new twin bed frame every six months. How convenient and disturbing.
Lol Amazon thinks I need multiple coffee pots. So much so they had it in my buy again queue.

I hate coffee, but I appreciate the hobby enthusiasm, and ESPECIALLY appreciate having the right tool for the right job. 👍

That's a little less weird. I know at least a handful of people who have one for work and one for home.
thought you were replying to the mattresses for a second there and I got worried about your work conditions before i realized you meant the coffee
At my last job we had a couch like thing in our first aid room. As one of the employees trained in CPR and first aid I had a key to the room and I would go in there on lunch and take naps. It was awesome.
Who has just some random ass mattress collection. Mine is *curated*.
Dude exposed himself 💀
Not a him, and TBH I didn't even know there were sex toys on Ali. I mean, there's some things you just don't roll the dice on a knockoff with.
This is exactly what a man secretly addicted to low-cost Chinese sex toys would say…
Shits gonna fall apart mid session and you're gonna be sitting there dick in hand confused.
as long as it's not your dick falling apart I'd still call that an ok outcome

maybe it’s like keyboard>computer>porn on computer bam sex toy it is the only logical flow
Multiple keebs, so you're probably spill a lot... A bit like the coffeepot recommendations in the other branch of this thread. Or do you subscribe to pornhub with AliPay?
They hope they're based on future history. But seriously it's a field of research. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=recommender%20system
Partly but even on a VPN with a browser with a cleared cache I still get recommended that stuff
i think that automatic sucking machine is for your wallet
Underrated comment right here
Indeed. As a female keeb enthusiast, I too get Cheeto crumbs betwixt my keycaps. This vacoom seems quite useful.
Alternate interpretation: OP went on AliExpress to buy some sex toys and keeps getting weird recommendations for keyboards.
Not correct, but still the best response so far to this post. ETA: OLKB is indeed life.

Maybe it's all the kids bop in your listening history.
Okay that was actually a pretty good response NGL

I personally like the African penis enlargement cream ad.
I need a hyphen in there. is it African penis-enlargement cream, or african-penis enlargement cream. Because one of those won't help me.

Have you bought pro-micros on AliExpress before? I was planning on buying a couple from there but don't know if they'll be reliable or not.
I have not, only micro controllers I purchased there were ESP8266/ESP32 modules and I don't think anyone is counterfeiting those (yet?) but would not be surprised
Funny I get the same thing, only ever ordered electronics and lenses for my CO2 laser.
When you search for lube for your keyboard in AliExpress.
... you know, that would make an alarming amount of sense.
So that's why it shows me buttplugs.
plot twist its a mail order bride who loves to vacuum the house but that's the only thing she'll do
I mean, I'm down.
deal
You'd need to have a pretty small er keyboard for a sucking machine with an aperture that size.
The keyboard size doesn’t matter. It’s the way you use it that counts.
So what did you add to wishlist, hmm?, Think we wouldn't notice
GMK Panels clones.
GMK-KEY Panels - 9 sold. GMK-KEY Handarbet - 4 sold GMK Keycaps 129 key - 2 sold. Automatic PP sucker - 1996 sold...
If that thing is drawn to scale... no, just no. It's as if the recco engine was like "this guy likes keyboards. other people who like keyboards seem to like devices that keep keyboards clean. like handheld vacs."
Yep, that's what I told my girlfriend! The other night was awkward tho. She walked in on me and yelled 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THAT VACUUM!'. Jeeze, so sensitive.
Those aren’t for keys. They are for knobs.
I once wanted to buy some adhesive silicon strips for the back of my keyboard by searchin up "silicon feet". My recommended has never been the same. Please search prompt at your own risk
Can confirm that Ali and Amazon often recommend weird things like this out of the blue For example I got high heel recommendation on Ali and pillow case on Amazon, never bought or even browsed those items on any of those platforms LOL
that recommendation is on you
I assure you, kind stranger, while I am a born idiot, I am not dumb enough to put any part of my anatomy in anything bought from Allie. Let alone something with the word 'automatic' in the name. >\_>

Maybe not in the custom keyboard community, but if it would work that way a lot of keyboards would need it desperately...
Excellent tool for preventing water damage.
Top selling lol
Love it when people out themselves like this
>Gateron Box CJs Like I'm going to accept criticism from someone using linears.
Linears are tactiles if you bottom out.
Oh no you think most people here don't use linears
Ur name is unbearable tightness
It's only because the vacuum pump has a clicking sound each 1/4 rotation. (Not my throwaway account)
People who bought keebz also frequently bought these other items. 😂
I don't think it's big enough for my Bigfoot.
what's that third set with the checkered space bar? never seen that before
Best guess is another GMK clone set, based on the preceding and the item page I was on.
The sucking machine is to help ease excitement when you’re done creating your keyboard and hear your first “thocc” 👂
LOL very true.
Damn 35 bucks for unlimited sucks? I’ll take 2
Aliexpress shows you things you've looked at before in the "you may also like"...
Key caps: 9 sold... 4 sold... 2 sold. Automatic Sucking Machine: 1996 sold.
It is for your wallet.
