Great product. I'm a frequent user of Segment from the early days and have been curious to see when an open-source competitor comes around that will match feature-for-feature. Thoughts: 1. You've got most major ads sources that I

Yes, I am oversimplifying. It is not a model. Even if the two courses of action are not independent it is highly unlikely that success in one requires not investing in the other. The premise of the argument that we must focus on the earth i

This is an opinion I see more and more, even among HN, and it deeply concerns me because it misses the reality of the situation. Think of it this way: 1. The tree trunk is rotting. 2. There is a very real chance we cannot fix the rot, no ma

Edit 2: 1. Self-referencing in my last point refers to gauging your own response to ads as a barometer of their effectiveness. 2. My points above are based on spending at scale globally (over 70 countries) for B2B and B2C products with mult

Your logic about the ads is sound, but your experience as a customer does not mean all customers exhibit this behavior. The best course of action is to test this conclusion which can be reliably done with a Google Ads Experiment.
