Pump your stock price with this one weird trick (Hint: it's lying).
> He says the company's main competition is "anyone in business of offering software revenue tools to publishers," including CMS providers, email servers, etc.
> Singolda tells Axios that he sees any sort of open web device, whether it being a smart refrigerator or a smart TV, one day being able to use Taboola's technology to power content recommendations.
> Taboola relies mostly on artificial intelligence to power content recommendations
- finiteloops 6y agoFairly certain the "artificial intelligence" they're describing are the rotten brains of anyone who works for that company.
- ourcat 6y agoI'd say it's more like they're getting search data from Google. eg: I search on some medical condition (which I might or might not have) and the next thing I know, all Taboola 'chumbox' blocks are littered with 'ads' (which aren't ads that 'sell' anything) about said condition. Just extremely low quality links with zero value.
- creato 6y agoIt would be pretty shocking if Google were sharing search data with anyone, let alone Taboola. Others in this thread mentioned that Taboola used to have literal malware that would replace Google with a google-lookalike. Maybe you have that malware?
- gundmc 6y agoThat is not how Google works.
- ourcat 6y agoMaybe I should have said 'via' Google.
