Nope. Market share and pricing power in digital advertising comes from user base and targeting capability. As an advertiser, I can reach most of the population in many country through FB/IG and YouTube. Their targeting data is also pre

Having experimented down the rabbit hole of GUIs, it is essentially a flexibility trade-off. If you want something to look and feel just right way for the user (ie. not programmer) to easily interact with, it turns out to require endless cu
