DavidR8's shop shenanigans

I basically sit on FB Marketplace. Once the algorithm figures out what you want it feeds listings to you.

Do you have saved searches or just freewheel it?

Around here, Facebook rules for farm stuff. But KIJIJI is better for tools and machinery.
 
I’m not sure about Facebooks’ algorithm.

I suspect they use 1,000 monkeys randomly tapping on 1,000 keyboards to decide which ads to display.

Example, one screen worth of stuff I was selected to view.

A mechanics creeper
Some magnets
A hot stamp machine for printing t-shirts
A wood router
A support bearing
A water filter supplier
Seva, a charity that provides vision services for third-world countries
A contest on TSN
A Russian? singer
And crotchless lingerie.
