Perhaps though there’s been the occasion where I get an email advertising the same exact item I purchased, and not one you’d need multiple of either. This also wasn’t the whole “please review your blah blah blah with whoever” email you occasionally get.
I suspect certain sellers just pay Amazon a fee to email members who’ve browsed on their product for a given period of time. Amazon probably doesn’t care if you went on to buy the item nor what the item was. You spent X time looking you get an email in a few days. As far as Amazon is concerned they did what they were paid to do and maybe they get you back on the site to look at other things to buy. Win win for them. The customer likely won’t stop using Amazon over it. And the seller got what they paid for even if it wasn’t worth it in that particular case.
