How does compromising the ability to search your inbox increase ad revenue?
- n4r9 1y agoProbably made other tweaks that gave marginal gains in ad revenue whilst neither caring nor measuring about the effect on search results.
- malfist 1y agoIs probably less about making as revenue and more about not investing in it
- tom_ 1y agoPresumably ad revenue has gone up even as search result quality has gone down, proving that the ability to search your inbox is actually unimportant.
- n4r9 1y agoUnimportant, or unprofitable?
- handfuloflight 1y agoComputation costs probably not worth it for the incremental user satisfaction.
- sn9 1y agoI'm assuming whatever they're currently doing involves machine learning so uses more compute than the simple correct solution that a CS freshman could code up.
