It’s not something I would do for a number of reasons. In terms of cost effectiveness — that is, leaving out the ethics aspect — this gambit could make sense if he converts those views somewhere else in a sales funnel (not sure he has one).

> Isn't it like $1000 per million views? That ($1 cpm) would be relatively low. Average cpm is $2. Depending on numerous variables, this can go higher — $7-$13 is average cpm for certain high value niches.

Sure. It widened the options for most people. Excellent! That said, as the post I originally responded to suggested, I don’t think that getting banned from Tinder or any dating app in particular is a “big deal”. Maybe a minor inconvenience

As someone who has lived in Japan and China, I can say that I have seen this happen. I have also seen a similar phenomenon at Ivies (at the undergrad level) if you exclude the athletes, so it’s not even a race or national culture thing. Imh

Fwiw, the absolutely bizarre way you’re talking about Teslas in these comments is a narrative. Your creative narrative here is… interesting. Best of luck moving forward.

Agreed. I got my Model Y in June. Yes, sometimes it has phantom braking. For reference, on a 9 hour drive to LV from my house, it happened maybe 5 times, and they were all fixed with a mild press of the accelerator. If this is a deal breake

Sure. The way I presented it was not an accident (abstract with little scaffolding). The question with the software that I have is how much is actually understood . Specially, how much of what was done can be applied in a different context

Not the original person you are replying to, but several including myself. That said, I think that your question is a bit loaded. Textbook-level treatment of a subject is usually very shallow (depending on the subject, I suppose).
