Maybe the long tail really does drop off that fast. According to the "Facebook is a Ponzi scheme" article ljlolel posted [1], most Facebook advertisers experiment for a while, then give up; that would make for a long tail and a steep curve.

- harshpotatoes 16y agoI've been thinking about it, and I think that another possibility is that there is no drop off, just a very flat curve with all companies spending a very similar but low amount, meaning the only reason facebook earns money from advertising is through the high volume of companies advertising on facebook. This makes sense in my mind, because I have a hard time believing google spends less than this unheard of company. But, your explanation seems equally likely at the moment...
