My cat. Sure its not recent. But my cat 😃

ROI from adverts is always a shitshow though. If you come off a plane and see <brand name product> and buy it, is it because you just saw an advert for it, or were you always going to buy it. There is of course stats that may show number of impressions vs. total purchases trend, but its still just massive correlation that I imagine there is a bunch of people pulling spreadsheets together to justify their marketing spend. Anecdotally, I’ve heard of data teams working with marketing teams and just going “whelp, whatever you need to justify your job”, etc.

Real ROI via direct sales though, that’s somewhat measurable since you have a direct cost of acquisition (sales person salary, overheads, etc) vs revenue.

I always wondered this too.

Found a website saying Youtube adviews are $100-300 per 10k (ad views, not video views). That’s 1-3¢ per view. If we assume an ad is 10seconds, then your time is worth 0.1-0.3¢ per second, or $3.60-10.80 per hour.

An A380 looks to be 380-615 seats. I’d imagine they’re more often optimising for space, so let’s say 550.

Long haul flight, 10% of people at any time using inflight stuff, 8 hours, 4 ads per hour = 5500.18*4 ads watched. 1760 ads. There will be a massive premium for planes, but surely only one order of magnitude more (e.g. 10x). That’s equivalent to give or take 20k YouTube adviews which would be $200-600 per flight.

There are a lot of planes in the sky every single day though…

Also, “line goes up” is a dick measuring contest between CEOs of different companies.

relying solely on cash injections.

That’s just the case. Not everyone buys lifetime subscriptions. This is a short term cash injection for investment. I don’t know their books, but I doubt the majority of their long term income will come from these lifetime subs.

There are some ski lifts that give lifetime passes. Its used as a cash injection to fund investments rather than lending off an institution that will want their money back.

Sure you’ll want your lifetime video data for free, but I bet there are a bunch of lifetime members that don’t watch much over a lifetime and/or the risk of future video watching outweighs the loan interest they’d have to pay otherwise.

Killing them I don’t think will help. I wouldn’t forgive them. But I hope society is able to rehabilitate that person, because killing others isn’t something I believe is an accepted normal thing to do, and that person has problems that need resolving.

I guess politics is modern societies version of how to make rules in society? E.g. it’s all politics, no?

Off topic, but did you use a password generator for your username?

Prank bro is a shit head.

But if America had less guns, then the debate over someone losing their freedom changes drastically.

Im still wondering whether OPs comment on private property was related to non digital assets or not.

Yep, exactly this.

Just hypothetically, someone walks into your house, picks up a table and leaves with it. What do you do?

I reject your reality, and choose to substitute my own. I’m going to remain 36 forever… Please…? 🥺

I think he means that by contributing to the likes of threads legitimises the platform. And when you “create content” there, then you’re essentially doing free labour for the venture capitalists, since their asset is only valuable if people use it.

Is this where the saying “young at heart” comes from?

Also in my 30s.
