The video is a humorous exploration of the personalized advertising and product recommendations on Facebook. The host, who has been on Facebook since 2006, decides to order five items that Facebook suggests to him in his News Feed, based on its algorithm. The items include a personalized perfume, a bra from ThirdLove, organic condoms from Sustain, a style box from Stitch Fix, and a lingerie set from True&Co.
The host is surprised by how much he likes most of the items and how well they fit his style. He finds the thong from True&Co comfortable and likes the style box from Stitch Fix. He also appreciates the bra from ThirdLove and the condoms from Sustain. However, he finds the dress from Stitch Fix and the burgundy pants too short and not tight enough. He also doesn't understand why the straps of the ThirdLove bra have ruffles.
The host concludes that while Facebook does a decent job matching him to companies that are doing some cool stuff, there are some gimmicks involved, such as quizzes and sending items for the price of shipping. He suggests that it's more efficient to do your own online shopping rather than relying on Facebook's recommendations.
