Just watched, great content as usual.
Above the all mentioned companies that run proficts through ads, Meta seems to be untouched by this decline. Why do you think it is so? Is it possible that their ads targeting is more effective because it's better integrated with teir platform content? (For example, advertisement videos that look like reels on Instagram?)

@pH3ra Meta is losing tons of profit since privacy laws were voted, and since Apple basically blocked tracking in iOS apps. They’re still making money, but their business has taken a big dive!

I think they have a critical size that allows them to make it work, but for how long?

@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social @pH3ra@mastodon.uno Just wanted to point out that Apple also has a huge ads business their trying to push. Apple is often shown by many "a-list" journalists as a hero, but Apple also wants to make money

@thelinuxEXP Seems legit. So do you think Meta opening yet another social network (Threads) is more like a gamble for more profit rather than a well thought financial move?

@pH3ra I don’t think they have a plan apart from « once people use it we’ll sell ads in there », since they collect enormous amounts of data from Threads!
