Indeed though I find it silly when I buy something like a laptop (I’m probably good for a couple of years) and start getting bombarded by “hey laptops galore!”ads. I just bought one, don’t need another !

It would be cleverer to identify the replacement cycle for each kind of product and only promote stuff the victim is likely to be looking for at that point in time (after 3 years likeliness of looking for a laptop replacement is higher).
