Deal Alerts - Unrelated Items

I was just viewing an expired deal for the Apple Airpods Pro. There was a button to receive alerts for new deals, so I clicked on it. In the next few minutes, I received 4 emails, none of which had anything to do with that item. The subjects were:
So aside from unsubscribing, what's the best option for dealing with the poor quality of the alerts? And is there a way to make that the default behavior when adding new deal alerts, especially ones that were being suggested to me?
- Apple AirPods Pro: The Surge (PC Digital Download) $1.61
- Apple AirPods Pro: Roland Nuvola digital piano w/ bench $599
- Apple AirPods Pro: 16-Oz Neutrogena Hydro Boost Lightweight Hydrating Facial Cleansing Gel Refill $5.95 w/ S&S + Free Shipping w/ Prime or on $35+
- Apple AirPods Pro: ASUS ZenBook 14 (Open-Boxes): 14" FHD+ OLED Touch, Intel Ultra 7 155H, 16GB LPDDR5, 1TB SSD $553.99

Usually there should be some additional keyword or category set on those "expired deal" deal alerts, e.g. it should have set a keyword for "Apple AirPods Pro", or set the category to Apple, or something appropriate.
I'm not sure if there is a bug causing the keyword/category not to be set, or if just that particular deal has an issue, but either way it wasn't anything that you did. The only thing I can suggest in this case is to edit that deal alert to add a more specific keyword.
In the meantime, I can see if there is an bug somewhere when adding those expired deal Deal Alerts
