> our industry Who does 'our' refer to here? Clicking your profile, it's not clear whom you work for, so I sure hope it doesn't refer to hackers of hacker news in general.
He refers to tech startups.
Mobile app ads keep paying more and more. I'm regularly getting $1 per click, and sometimes as high as $5 (finance category). I can't remember ever getting this much for websites. I'm using google admob
I cant say I have ever intentionally clicked on a mobile ad. That little 'x' is too tiny for my chubby fingers.

I predict that in the next 10 years you're going to see major shifts and companies like Facebook will be eaten for lunch
Zero chance of that. Facebook will be doing $16 to $20 billion in profit within five or so years. They'll have accumulated $60 to $80 billion in cash. They'll have a half trillion dollar market cap in the next few years. They'll liberally use the cash and market cap to buy into any market they're missing out on, just as Microsoft purchased LinkedIn and Skype to try to stay in the game.

As a Google shareholder this is great news, but now I'm starting to feel that the market is underestimating the chance that someone simply builds a better search engine. For example, here are 3 search queries I recently performed where I found Google's results lacking: 1. What is the best Thai restaurant within 10 kilometres? 2.

Amazon, Facebook , Google - three stocks to rule the world. They cannot do any wrong, and I don't mean that sarcastically. Buying these stocks is like investing in the companies that are building the matrix, but it's real life.

Personally I'm surprised online ad revenue is so high, I rarely click on ads, the fact that enough people do to continue to make it worthwhile for advertisers doesn't really make sense to me. Clearly there are important details I'm missing out on.

What if ad blockers become mainstream? Sure, they won't stop all ads, but they could seriously dent ad revenue, as could changes in online behaviour.
