I think Apple was able to front load a lot of the growth with the Apply Music free trial. It was long enough that enough subscribers forgot to cancel before they became "paying" and started getting billed. Also curious that the wr

I saw Bloomberg doing this quite a while back so it is growing not shrinking. If it is auto-play, the content doesn't actually exist for the consumer, it is there to tell the advertiser they are buying an ad for content. It is like a m

Can publishers handle advanced math? They are taking the same audience, same advertisers, and just dividing it up in to more pieces - and like you said, at a lower quality. I suspect the growth in online advertising has done a good job in m

Anecdotally, both Google and Apple maps have fail points. Up until very recently I would always try to double check Google Map's pin of a location from another source because it would be flat out wrong at least 10% of the time. The mor
