This is a tech community, not a "making bank" community. You may be looking for a subreddit on investing for the reactions you're expecting.
- gxs 5y agoThis is literally an article and comment about Facebook's finances.
- magicjosh 5y agoTo be fair to the other commenters, they're also talking about the nature of the article, but more about what these financials mean for the tracking products, Facebook, and the "tracking industry" broadly.
- barbecue_sauce 5y agoWhy does that matter?
- hunterb123 5y agoBecause it's the topic of the comments? What matters more than the article we're all commenting on?
- hadlock 5y agoA lot of us work for tech companies we may own shares in, or have options to buy. Knowing where the leaders in the market are going (up, down, flat) is, at worst, a weak signal of how tangential markets will trend in the coming months. Maybe this is less relevant to someone under 30, but as a lot of us creep into our early and late 40s, having a clearer picture of where we might end up in retirement is something many people have a keen interest in. FAANG stock trends, like it or not, dictate the larger tech sector, and right now 2/5 just took a 20% hit in the space of a week.
- notacoward 5y agoThis is a venture-backed tech community, so it's pretty much about making bank. Also, it regularly celebrates big rounds and exits for other ethically questionable companies, so there's really no moral high ground to be had here.
