The world is vastly improved as all search results are now 'organic', and people find the products they need without being bombarded with advertising and cheap behavioral economic manipulations to encourage them to purchase products and services they don't need.
- derefr 7y agoI think you're thinking of marketers/advertisers, who are not, in fact, compensated based on performance.
- notfromhere 7y agoThat’s not true. Marketers these days increasingly have revenue targets
- derefr 7y agoTarget-based compensation (i.e. “getting a bonus if the project succeeds”) and performance-based compensation (i.e. “working on commission”) are different things. One directly rewards effort; the other (mostly) rewards office-politicking, by e.g. finding your way onto projects on the cusp of success.
- notfromhere 7y agoNo. Lots of marketing is directly tied to revenue generated and get compensated on their direct ability to generate pipeline. It's directly tied to performance.
- krageon 7y agoIs there a location that you can attach to this state of affairs? Because it's definitely not true where I live and work.
