    How successful companies do ads: ONLY invest in the ad if you have at least 3X ROI to cut out all the "bullshit tiny 1% improvement" ideas, and you don't run into any problems the …

    That's exactly the spirit! The internet makes it so easy for "poorer" countries to level up damn quickly! Spread the word there! <3

    At the same time, it will also WEED OUT a lot of crapware. Only the best and best-cared-for software will remain :D.
