I've never installed games on my phone (except one or two for testing, from the beginning of my use on phone)

But Google keeps fucking suggesting Games every single time I open Google Play.
And no, it's not just one or two suggestions, it's the all fuckening screen full of games..

I'm not fan of games.. good work google and AI and alll stuff

@Alice what? not I am not

Loom at the "top" games in the play store. They are mostly low effort games by the same companies. Also yes, I feel you.

Have you used the same email id (Google acc) on another phone which someone else is using?

My wife doesn't have a Google account, hence she uses my gmail account for her Android. Our search history is synced (FML, can't even search any gifts for her) and the apps similar to which which she uses on her phone are suggested to me. Seriously, its 2019 and Google is still backwards in this tech.

Amazon suggests stuff from other colleges after I've looked at something from mine. :-/ It often even suggests the main rival's gear.

It's impressive that the algorithm can make the leap to 'this is college branded gear' and doesn't also have it programmed in that it is a USELESS inference, as nobody searches for just ANY college's branded gear.

Oh... on the opposite side though, Google has got some accurate hooks on my brother. Whenever we're watching a show, and want to look up some actor or whatever, he will get 1-2 letters typed in and it gets the right one. I can't see how - that's so little to go by, and none of the streaming services are in his name or tied to his Google account... and it isn't going by location as Google appears to have not a clue what I'm searching for.

This made me go look at the Google ad profile for me. It has a glasses company (I don't wear glasses), UCLA (nope), IBM (not sure why), Basketball (ick), Football (more ick). It does have a few okay things, but about half of this is garbage.

@BluePanda how do I find the ad profile?
