I think they're OK with Facebook losing popularity as long as they're able to maintain relevance through other properties (currently, Whatsapp + Instagram). The pivot to "Meta" is part of that strategy as they try to pus

You may have to network your way into finding customers. Who do you know who knows creators? Is there a way you can get in front of creators so that you can test your assumptions in front of them?

There will be additional criminal + civil penalties decided in court. As far as I can tell, the $72K fine is imposed directly by the SEC for breaking the rule.

maybe we should wait and see how that nets out with the SEC fines + civil suit...

You pay less than your competitors for your branded ads via quality score. But yeah, it gets competitive. You should see how much PI lawyers pay for AdWords - it's bonkers. Hundreds of dollars per click.

The idea that medicine is an objective science that we've fully "solved" is much more harmful. There are a number of symptoms that we can group into "conditions," yet have a murky etiology. That's not to say th
