Amazon's 'you may also like...' feature is evil, I have just ordered a pile of CD's by people I have never heard of before, because... well, why not?

I spent about an hour a few months ago letting Amazon know that all the things on their "you may also like..." list were things I already own.

It does occur to me that Amazon is slowly building up a list of every book and film I own. Imagine how dangerous that information could be in the wrong hands...

Same here, although I do need a checkbox for "Never ever recommend this to me again, or anything even vaguely like it - the merest thought of it makes me scream as it haunts my darkest nightmares."

For when the "not interested" box is so woefully inadequate.
