"The Algorithm Made Me Buy It: How Online Recommendations Are Ruining My Budget (and My Life)."

Dave, the lord commander masquerading as a helpful shopping bot/algorithm, struck again.

Now, he had to introduce me to the 'dual-sided shower head.' You know, the one from that trending reel?

The one that promised not just a luxurious wash, but the perfect venue for in-shower debates with myself. 'Pros and cons, facing opposite ways,' the reel whispered. And Dave, that sly manipulator, knew my inner critic and my inner optimist were overdue for a screaming match about whether I should finally eat pink salad a dish that should not exist.

So, as any sane person would do, I bought it. Now, my bathroom sounds like a tiny, waterlogged parliament, and Dave is probably somewhere, chuckling.
