"C: You are not wrong, but are you even you? Or has the vacuum stolen your identity to buzz-market this show to me?

But it's equally fine for your wife to opt out of this sickening pervasive culture of targeted ads and watch Dicktown (co-created by John Hodgman and David Rees) on Hulu instead."

Targeted advertising and algorithmic recommendation systems can diminish personal agency and confuse individual identity, sometimes feeling as if devices or marketing appropriate choices. The speaker questions whether an appliance has taken someone's identity to aggressively promote a program.

The tone blends skepticism and humor while dismissing manipulative marketing tactics.
