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?

Last was a fantastic discussion with Lina Khan on her legacy at the FTC and the role of antitrust in preserving a fair and democratic society/economy at the @stiglercenter.

Those same donors also used their political influence to create a zealous regime of restrictive patents to enforce profit-maximizing scarcity in technology and pharmaceuticals.

"And of course, there was Democrats’ decision to brush off the idea of a single-payer health care system and instead champion the Affordable Care Act — a move that Klein defended and that strengthened the power of health insurers, whose entire business model is rationing #healthCare into a scarcity product, rather than an abundantly available service."

Despite a 2023 ruling ordering Apple to loosen its grip on the App Store, the company took extraordinary measures to keep every penny. The decision ended up angering the judge and could cast a shadow over Apple’s business for years, weakening its credibility as legal scrutiny of its operations intensifies. @newyorktimes has the story (subscription may be required). #Apple #Antitrust #AppStore #Epic #Tech #Technology flip.it/FtOavv
