    Might as well charge most of the AdTech/MarTech space for gross fraud over the past decade. ALL of these vendors were saying that they were using AI well before the general availab…

    Aren't there companies like Televerde that 100% of the product offering is based on low cost labor supplied by prisoners? https://therealnews.com/corporations-are-making-millions-o…

    You ignored my statement. I asked you to think of your favorite site...not mine. I'm in no way saying that what I prefer is somehow supposed to be preferred by you. "Think of your …

    Check this out! I happened to see these folks just launched a business doing exactly what you described. I doubt they have any traction but there's hope: https://techcrunch.com/202…

    How do you think a UX person knows what works? It's not that they were born jedi's worthy of understanding good design and human intuition. They test, test, test, and you know what…

    Wow, thats a bit much. Think of your favorite site with the best experience possible. That is possible because people tested countless times what works, what didn't, what is the mo…

    I'm not in the affiliate landscape but this kind of thing could have detrimental impact on publishers driving traffic to various commerce sites. If you're a person that makes an oc…

    Their campaign execution is brilliant...love it. That said, nothing about this is new. Whether Facebook, Google, or any of the other countless (yes, thousands) of players in the Ad…

    I find it deeply disturbing that this was known by the US intelligence community the entire time yet they were suppressed from sharing publicly because of certain people being comp…

    I knew this in loose terms but it's insane to see the revenue sharing percentages going to the creator vs. the publisher. "My contract with the publisher specifies that I get 25% o…

    Taboola, Outbrain, et al are the bottom of the barrel as it relates to the space of monetized and amplified content recommendations. Literal clickbait designed to pray on the poorl…

    Nicely done!! This is mindlessly fun. I comically created something halfway decent sounding. I might have found my calling. ;)

    Good point regarding the incumbents. This clearly isn't a simple problem to solve...some one will always lose. Sadly, we cannot trust our political leaders to simply do the right t…

    I wonder if they're getting interested in this again after seeing Algolia and Elasticsearch take off? I suppose this was only a matter of time.
