- davidgordon 9y agoAre you sure? Specifically it isn't necessarily about advertisers it regards surveillance. Advertising revenue can be completely offset by Governmental tracking. As I said in the other post we can't prove the positive but it certainly is a feasible option. I know I could do it given the charter.
- nemothekid 9y agoAdvertising revenue can be completely offset by the government? That seems unlikely given how much these companies make off of advertising. It would be amazing that the Apple and the USG could hide that kind of massive money transfer off their books.
- FireBeyond 9y agoOnly because iAd (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IAd https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IAd) was a horrific failure. In early 2011, the minimum buy price on the platform was $500K. By midyear, $300K. By early 2012, $100K. Early 2013? $50 (no K missing, just fifty bucks).
- yjftsjthsd-h 9y agoI believe you that it was a failure, but that doesn't follow from the minimum price dropping. Perhaps as they gained confidence in the system, they allowed smaller buys with smaller prices (but still just as profitable).
