All Thursday Night Football games are on Amazon. This is a make up from last Thursday.

It showed up in my BROWSING history. Not my suggested viewings. The browsing history shows products/shows you've actually previewed or watched. |

I have Prime and I checked my browsing history and it wasn't there. I also watched the game OTA.

I know many people tend to think this, but that's just not how it works. There have been lots of tests done, with Wireshark/packet sniffing/etc to see how and when Alexa is listening and transmitting data. It clearly does not record or transmit data other than listening for the activation word.
You can actually test this for yourself. Download Wireshark: https://www.wireshark.org/ Monitor your own network traffic. If it's communicating with Amazon when it shouldn't be, that will be pretty easy to spot. I know this doesn't really explain why it would be in your Browsing history. But 99% of the time, this is a result of Amazon's incessant desire to profile your history/likes/etc for monetary reasons. |

I'm just shooting the shit, it's late. Honestly, "somebody" probably fat fingered their remote again and clicked on it by accident. LOL |

Doesn't have to just be Amazon. Cookies follow you everywhere, and it's just a matter of who gets access to them. Hell, for all I know, the ads on CP could be picking up data that identifies you as a football fan, and maybe that's all they needed to go off of.

It’s quite likely that they could predict that you would either watch or be interested in that game base on data analytics without having any direct confirmation that you watched it. It turns out that with enough data humans are very predictable.

This may not apply to you but for me the game appears from my home screen on my fire stick.

I had one of those devices in my house and ended up unplugging it and putting it in the closet. The more I read about them the more I wanted it away from me

That's what I'm saying. Amazon runs outside of the sandbox. Another site that runs outside the sandbox is Discogs. Both of the those sites have associated cookies and it's conceivable that cross site data tracking could take place. I browse ESPN, NFL, CP, and stuff like that via the sandbox. I have no cookies for any of those sites. I don't run searches outside the sandbox. There's really no way for Amazon to discern from my browsing habits that I would want to watch TNF. Much more likely my MIL accidentally clicked on it when she was looking for Christmas movies. |
