This will most likely be a significant factor in though, though good luck getting them to admit it.
HA users will mostly be bypassing the app and therefore not providing revenue via ad impressions.
- toyg 3y agoThe fact that a garage door accessory company relies on showing ads is a triumph for MBAs programs and a tragedy for the human race.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoThe stuff I learn in this thread is so unbelievable that I don't even know what to say anymore. This feels like pulled straight from Idiocracy.

- jrockway 3y agoTo some extent, serving ads is like owning a money printer. I can't really get upset that everyone wants to own a money printer. I just hope that there is a backlash against ads someday, where they start having a negative effect. "Oh, Toyota is constantly advertising in my garage door app? I'm going to buy a Ford instead." People say that the US government defaulting on its debt would be the end of the world, but the real end of the world is one where advertisements stop working!
