Hallelujer!

If you are ever surfing the web or looking for channels on YouTube, you might get ads or recommendations based on what you usually surf the web for. Basically the internet has been tracking you and they know all the freaky things you are into. Yes, I mean YOU! Although, I recently had NollyDrive recommend to me such fun titles like, Door to Door sex and Step father-daughter affair. I’m not sure what the Internet is trying to say about me.......i’m hoping it’s just a national thing.......Yeah........that’s it.

This well developed art and science of keeping us happy and engaged by flooding us with  recommendations and targeted ads.......kinda like what happens when you attend a Pentecostal church. See, a sermon starts well enough and it is spiritually moving as it should be but at this point there is no difference to attending a catholic so they gotta do something to keep the audience engaged. In a segue so elegant it’ll make a Nigerian film blush, it starts to get personal. Are you broke and struggling? Then this message is for you! The low income but super eager members of the congregation are going wild. Are looking for a husband? Then this for you also! The girls that won’t give you their PIN in church (mostly because you are from the aforementioned  group and nobody wan suffer) start to pray. Do you need to strengthen your marriage? Then this is also for you! Then (shockingly i might add) women that can’t stop singing how good their marriages are, are up now. The spirit is spreading like Ebola.  Just a couple more questions and slight variations on the ones you asked before and you have a better religious experience.

That’s the point of cookies anyway, making sure you have the best experience and opening you up to new things. Now I don't normally have any interest in the recommendations by NollyDrive, but who am I to stand in the way of science and its obvious benefits....
