I wish it was acceptable/normal for companies to reveal how much more of their workforce (if any) they plan to layoff in the coming quarters
It's almost as if there's a need for headcount projections.
> daily users of more than 2B, wow, growth of 5% yoy, that is good
eh, i always feel like this is dishonest for them. if a daily user is on whatsapp and they never see an ad, isn't that user just an expense for them? instagram users scrolling ads: revenue. facebook user scrolling ads: revenue. me talking to my family on whatsapp? unless they're benefiting from scanning the chat and delivering me ads on it (is this what they do? is it legal?) isn't it kind of like... they're paying the bandwidth/storage costs and getting very little out of it?
> on adds, from Bloomberg reporting "Ad impressions increased by 18% while average price per ad decreased by 16% for 2022."
is this left over from "apple's privacy changes made our ad targeting less effective so we need to display more, lower quality ads that are worth less to get as many conversions as we used to previouly"?
- pavlov 4y ago2B is the daily active users for Facebook specifically. For the entire family of apps it’s 2.96 billion DAU (i.e. people who used one or several of FB/Insta/WhatsApp during the day).
- MuffinFlavored 4y agowould you agree with the statement that a WhatsApp user is most likely the least profitable compared to FB/Insta or do you think that statement is missing some kind of information?
- ojbyrne 4y agoI believe they’ve talked about this on earnings before, as an area with very significant potential for increasing monetization.
- rightbyte 4y agoThe whole lure with Whatsapp was that it was cheaper than sms. And now sms cost nothing extra.
- pavlov 4y agoYou were talking about WhatsApp in context of the 2 billion number which doesn’t include WhatsApp users.
