? We don't pay for the products we use, advertisers pay for the products we use, the advertisers are the customers, we are the products that are sold. Our focus is on products sold to advertisers.
? Advertisers need a certain guarantee of success in placing their advertisements. That's their business, the certainty they're selling. To be successful in this business, you must have excellent foresight. Excellent predictive ability starts with a necessary condition - a lot of data.
?Persuasive technology: You pull down to refresh, there is always the latest content on it, which is called positive reinforcement in psychology.
