You see, your algorithms are all wrong. I am a FORMER pepsi_junkie. I quite that stuff years ago BUT if I sign up with a new account everyone will dismiss everything I say with a derisive “go away, noob” so I keep it. You should have been able to discern this by reviewing the transcripts of all my private conversation recorded by Amazon Alexa.
