    and experts are confused why traded-on-the-markets social media companies are in freefall.

      Except this isn’t 100% true.

      • Google continues to add more ads per page, despite people complaining
      • Netflix now has ads even in paid tiers. Their subscribers count grew
      • YouTube continues to push ads even to the point of aggressive blocking ad blockers

      There isn’t a single platform that has reduced the number of ads it serves.

      Businesses have learned that the majority of users will take it.
