Right, but if I understand you, the counterargument is dumb since the context in which we are discussing is business viability (vcs investing in businesses where the unit economics require inference cost decreases), so actual dollars out ra

Since the supposed software freedom only affects resellers, one way to "look" less like you're out here defending aws would be to not spend 8+ posts defending aws.

It's not that misaligned. Basic ad ops has ad buyers buy ads from different vendors, track which converts (attribution, which has flaws, but generally is decent signal), and allocate spend via return on ad spend. So it hurts the vendo

The problem isn't the bad writing; it's that it's vapid slop trying to consume my very limited time and attention.

Reddit was knowingly ruined by google. Once google pushed reddit to the top of search results, they created massive incentives to game reddit and fill it with disguised advertising and/or slop.

Contracts cannot be so amended unless you allow it. Why would you possibly allow it? ToS are for low-value consumer accounts. 500 seats and public institutions is very different.

I googled: $23m raised (8 seed, 15 A in Oct 24). Also, linkedin says 53 people, though crazies like to say they're employed places. It does say 29 in the US so that's more likely real. Assuming that skews eng a bit, that's
