Reply to comment by gullydowny in Home Depot sent my email, details of stuff I bought to Meta, customer complains by Sorin61

You didn't google Lowes or visit their website?

Nah, filled out a form in the building to get a discount on paint, gave them my email & soon after heard an ad for them pitching their contractor discount program. Same as the junk mail I get but for some reason getting to me on the radio via my email I also used for Pandora was a step too far lol. Don’t know why people are having a hard time believing that, that’s why they want the email.

You just went there, without visiting their website or searching on other sites if they have what you want?

Yeah I used to get a discount at Home Depot but they cut that back so I just went down the street to Lowe’s. I’m a painter, I go to Lowe’s and every other hardware store a dozen times a month.

The skepticism is weird, if I give someone my email and they know I’m a contractor I’m going to eventually get ads aimed at contractors, the eerie part was how soon it happened and that it was on Pandora.

It goes into a database, why shouldn't it be instant?

Hell, I bet contractors are an important audience for Pandora ads, as they do be driving a lot.
