The advertising industry is immensely powerful, and disturbingly opaque.

      They make a list of all internet users and then circle the ones they don’t have info on.

      How would they know any of it is accurate?

      Doesn’t matter. Advertisement has never been about truth.

        Actually, this raises more questions. If ZoomInfo is anything to go by, I’m about 5 different people, none of which accurately map to the real me.

        And that’s just me; there’s millions of bots and dogs on the Internet.
