I agree with you - there’s usually some adjustment for sampling bias, and this study says it is matching Census targets. But I had to go three levels down to see that info before I derive any meaning from the number. My concern is that head

I agree it’s very possible subscriptions would become more common if targeted ads were restricted. Personally I’d rather pay money for a good product/service than 'being the product' for a bad product that monetizes my data.

Whenever I see a claim that "x% of adults do y", my brain goes: - "x% of what? what is the denominator?". Without that number, the claim is meaningless. - surely it cannot be the entire population, so it has to be a surv

"they can still make money, albeit less, serving non-targeted ads." - would they be able to make as much as they do now? I think it would be significantly less. From Meta's official Financial Report for 2025 [0]: Total Revenu

Such a great read! I kept on nodding and chuckling the whole time reading it. I can see myself as the founder, especially 'spending time in the oven forums' lol. I went to the /blog route to see other posts by the author, but

Good work! I am hopeful for a social network that is not craving to increase engagement and going viral. I posted a sample but and created a profile. But when I went to the Docs tab in my profile, it says... Doc Not Found The doc "how-

Thanks for the note. While building the context bundle, there is a tool that detect gaps in the timeline. So when you ask 'kitchen renovation', and there are emails from 2019 and 2023, the tool flags these gaps and the LLM is mad
