Hello, it is me.
Anyone knows why Spotify needed 9000 employees in the first place?
Most people, including myself, seem to agree, that ads were never the problem. When YouTube started, it had ads too and nobody cared. But the ads got worse and websites started to shove them down our throats. I miss the times of a single banner below a video. I don’t think Google and all the others realise just how much determined nerds can achieve. So far the ad blockers seem to win the race, minus some minor setbacks.
That is what I was thinking, too. Maybe it’s really just marketing, hand curated content like someone commented or something else non technical.
I saw banks being maintained by 10-20 people.
