It just annoys me because I’m not going to order it and I’m abstaining from alcohol. But there’s always some “special deals” being advertised by UberEats on alcohol, as well as meat, dairy and eggs. It’s like they’re really sleazy and desperate to hawk these products.
Just wait until they get caught targeting people in recovery for these liquor ads at the optimal time for them to cave and make an order. You know that shit’s going to be a scandal sometime in the next few years.
My buddy’s dad is an alcoholic with a ton of health issues. He had a stroke a while back and had to quit drinking as a result. He can’t drive anymore or even really leave the house. Well, his wife recently passed away, and someone showed him door dash and Uber eats was a thing to help him get food delivered. He saw they had alcohol on it, and now he regularly gets beer delivered. Like, the guy’s old AF n lost his wife, so who am I to judge him wanting to get liquored up, but he probably wouldn’t be drinking right now if this all happened 10 years ago.
My uncle was an alcoholic his while life, but in the last few years, alcohol delivery services were what killed him.
Often, when bringing up privacy, people say they are ok with some tracking because they’ll get more relevant ads
But it’s so common to not be able to block products you don’t want, be it alcohol, meat products, dairy, gambling/casino games, podcasts from people you don’t want to hear from
It’s not about getting more relevant ads, it’s about figuring out what they can best sell you. Sometimes that lines up with what you want, but you can get that benefit without targeted ads too

I wonder if you can ban all those nazi ads youtube all of a sudden thinks i’m into even though I watch nothing but leftist content.
- meat
- dairy
- eggs
- alcohol
these are large industries with a lot of muscle. I’m sure the deal they struck with Uber eats doesn’t include an option to “turn off” these offers
God if only all those industries could lose their subsidization so they can die the natural death they deserve.
I’m just bouncing ideas off and not sure if it works like that, but maybe you can try creating a teen account and link it to your main one.
Recently I noticed there’s an option to let me link teen accounts(and other adults) under a family that lets them order but pay with the primary account.
Assuming teens won’t be able to buy alcohol, perhaps those recommendations would go away too?
Stop using gig economy apps, you’re fucking up the economy and eroding worker rights.
You love enshitification on the internet? Well those apps are going to bring that to the real world.

Yes, you just have to remove it from my order. Unfortunately, I can’t give you access to my orders. So I guess you can’t remove those recommendations from my orders.
