you’re really determined to stick to your belief haha, don’t worry about it man I don’t think I’m going to sway your mind on this so peace !

This is all measured and not really estimated. If you think that any substantial chunk of that 484Billion is being done ‘stupidly’ then you’re just making presumptuous incorrect guesses without knowing much about the industry.

Revenue (sales) - Investment (total costs) = ROI There is ROAS which similiar: Revenue - Ad Spend = ROAS You can measure things in more detail like CPA (cost per acquisition) to work out how much ad spend you have per sale, again this is a measurement not an estimation.

Where previously there was mass advertisements to millions of people like TV or radio ads which were only affordable to large companies. Advertisers now can target the exact type of person they’re trying to market to for their niche which is a lot cheaper and so more accessible to smaller businesses. To me that makes business sense to do if I can optimise to the right ROI, and nothing to do with FOMO or vague thinking.

2 second google for some numbers: “In 2022, global internet advertising revenue stood at 484 billion U.S. dollars”

One of the metrics you measure when running ads is return on investment, and companies will soon go bust if you aren’t making money on your ad spend.

what’s the benefits of being federated for code?

actually this has happened to me where windows fucked with the file system of both my ext4 Linux OS partition and shared ntfs data partition. A reformat and repartition was the only remedy, so reinstall of the OS and recovery from a backup of the data were required

this is pretty disgusting even for Facebook

free but you can pay for certs for a bunch of them too: https://ocw.mit.edu/ https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/learning/free-mit-online-computer-science-classes

In my navigation of the fediverse the last few days I’ve noticed a few people running instances of mastodon and lemmy with just themselves or 1 or 2 other people etc.

If you into tinkering and selfhosting, why not :D Means you’re in full control of what other instances you federate with/can see etc.
