#29Earlier quoted context omitted.
Correct in theory, false in practice. Case in point : google adwords / adsense. It’s been close to 20 years and counting, and lots of the online ad economy is still relying almost exclusively on it.
Not sure what your point is. If you rely heavily on Google search traffic or ads, and get banned you are in the same boat. Id say it’s still correct, because the point OP was trying to make is, don’t run a business that can fail entirely because of another entities whims.
Yes, but that is pretty terrible advice.
It might make sense if you have tons of profitable business options and you have to choose one, but that is rarely the situation.
There are billion dollar companies that run on AdWords, and the owners are far better off than if they refused to run a business with a single point failure, and worked at a coffee shop.
Hundreds of billions of dollars flow through AdWords to businesses that would NOT be better off without the revenue.

#30Lol, they realize it's a sell-or-ban bill, right? Kind of a moot point when you realize that TikTok as we know it will continue, just without a connection to the CCP. Even if they do ban TikTok the company, the engineers/ML scientists who developed the recommender system powering TikTok still exist, so worst comes to worst someone makes a new company, hires the engineers, and off to the races
China has already indicated it won't sell its 20% share, and so TikTok will be removed from the US app stores.
And any replacement would be US only, limiting its reach to some 10% of what it had before.
This is why most people view this as a ban. And IMO, rightfully so; it's not as if our congressmen and congresswomen are fumbling about in the dark. They've just bought.
