Every tech company you listed has some kind of ad-based revenue. They're all data vacuums, and a lot of their current and especially future value is tied to how much user data they have access to and how they can monetize it further.
You ever hear the phrase data is the new oil?
- spacedcowboy 4y ago“some kind of ad-based revenue” carrying a lot of water in that sentence. Apple, for example, have an ads business, but it’s a drop in the ocean compared to iPhone, or hell even iCloud.
