They do this on the way up too. Sometimes a little breather is enough to save some pensions.

Oh you know, just the standard bad parents using their kids to justify shitty behavior instead of using an obvious solution like locking a car door.

No they don’t. They sell the ability to display ads to users in a targeted fashion. The user data is how they do that and is their moat. Their entire market advantage is they don’t sell the data, instead you have to continually let them decide who sees your ads to leverage that data.

Google goes to great lengths to make sure only they have this data.

Correct. Since you can’t tell if a person in enby by looking at them this is just a bunch of bigots getting mad that enby and trans people were present. Terfs gonna terf i guess.

The users willing to pay are the most valuable users on the platform for advertisers because they are, let me consult my notes… willing to pay for things.

The logical conclusion is you must charge more for users to not get ads than your average revenue per user from ads or you end up losing money because the quality of your non paying users has taken a nose dive.

You mean you keep using this thing despite hating it? Now I’ve known a few addicts in my time and that is pretty much the definition…

Yes everyone should use this logic. Your kid might be the one, have 10 to increase your odds!
