Like why do they care how many times I go to porn hub every day or that nothing gets me harder than a free use MILF? Why do they care that I don't know how to spell consistency so I have to Google it every 3 months.

If they do it right, you won't even notice or feel like you have no choice to buy something.

They want to know you better than you know yourself. I doubt they would be interested in any information you would provide because it would be useless compared to what they can get.

Most of the phyc research is done by large companies to crack all our brains open so we open our wallets.

You're probably depressed because that is what they want you to be. So you maximize screen time for adds and purchases.
