This quote from #Meta is bonkers:
Meta noted that it "does not profit by showing more ads to users who do not click on them," so it only shows more ads to users who click ads.
That’s like saying baseball players only score points for the balls that they hit. I mean, it’s true, but makes an irrelevant point. If a baseball player could have 4 strikes or 7 strikes or 10 strikes before being out, would they hit more balls and score more points? Duh.
Acting like the number of ads shown has nothing to do with click rate or revenue is absurd. If it has nothing to do with it, why does ad load correlate so closely with revenue? Is just a mysterious coincidence?
