Who is your Robin Hood? This will help your designated AI/Data Harvesting Bot gauge your age. won’t it? As good as click-baiting you with ‘Put your favourite Rolling Stones albums in order of “unlisten-ability”. (My No.1 is Dirty Work, but that’s not helping anyone, because I DO like Their Satanic Majesties Request, unlike 99% of the people who even know what that is.) See? It’s not an exact science – but it doesn’t need to be. Outliers – AKA awkward gits like me – drown in the sea of data. If you remember your maths, Data Demons don’t care about the mean or the median, it’s the mode, man. The most common choice drives the algorithm.
Unless, of course, you let them collect your personal data and it's linked to your choices and your browsing history. Even then, it’s still a numbers game. A good snark in a Facebook post’s comments at something you think ridiculous ,“Taylor Swift’s new album the best of all time”, for example, will still see you bombarded with Swifties’ preferences in Netflix programmes and personal hygiene products.
Back to Robin of Locksley.

Ha! I'm a Silver Surfer,
Ha! I'm a Silver Surfer, apparently. I mean, not Jason Connery, obviously - nice bloke but couldn't act for toffees. I'm not sure Michael Praed could act either but who the hell cared?
Although chronologically I should be Senior Citizen, so maybe I've fooled them?
I'm currently getting all sorts suggested on my FB because, in the interests of research, I'm following a page devoted to Time Slip experiences. Never contributed or left a comment but still, that algorithm says 'found ya!'.
