This book is the laughing stock of ad tech right now, it's got some good ideas, but it's 90% sensationalized and half-baked. The mortgage analogy is weak as well. This book is a money grab more than anything. It's an attempt at stirring the pot.
- Balgair 6y agoWhat 10% of the book is good?
- doopy1 6y agoI think calling attention to issues with ad tech is good, that's where my 1/10 score comes from.
- drewwwwww 6y agodo you know if anyone has written a detailed critical response? people in the industry it is about laughing it off i think is to be expected. i doubt most traders in mortgage securitization in 2006 would have agreed the sky was about to fall.
- doopy1 6y agoI saw a nice synopsis from a finance person on reddit on why the analogy to the mortgage issue is way off the mark, but I doubt I can find it again. My point is that there's a whole burgeoning industry in whining about how ad companies are evil, but it's not really quite so black and white.
