gollark: > i wonder how much google can tell about some1 just from their viewing habitsWell, they probably combine those with a bunch of other data. Like location, stuff installed on phone, search history, that sort of thing.

gollark: Huh, I just opened YouTube and the very first thing there was the IR death ray video, video.
gollark: Huh. That is a... vaguely worrying amount of information, but I guess Google does that.
gollark: (unfathomable is a great word)
