interesting. I guess I’ve only seen it from publisher settings where cpm might be the preferable model.

it’s rarely about clicks when it comes to banner ads, it’s about impressions (the ad was visible in a user’s browser). as with most advertising, it’s about keeping the user aware of a brand name or product.

while clicking on them does lead to a destination page of some kind, and it may be valuable to the advertiser for you to end up there (back on a product page for some thing you previously looked at but didn’t buy for example) the ad networks and publishers hosting the ads on their pages are mainly getting paid by impressions.

Squatting, shitting…what’s the third event? Scrolling on your phone? The Indolent Ironman.

I use it, it’s my only serious option where I live and works surprisingly well. as for my other options - the literal garbage tier DSL is unusable, the line-of-sight wireless providers would require removal of a bunch of trees and likely still wouldn’t work well, and 1 bar of cellular is a joke.

all these comments discussing ukraine wartime internet, or poorer communities in south america. meanwhile, i have zero interest in musk, but starlink has been a fantastic Internet option for me in rural US.

my other options are borderline unusable DSL, or a couple of line-of-sight wireless providers which would require cutting down who knows how many trees to even have a hope of connectivity.

there are a significant number of people living in this area, but no decent wired or cellular internet options and despite my state getting a large federal grant to improve internet speeds, I have zero expectation it will be improved for me.

hello! glad you walked in here.

I found it had value for finding immediate info on some active event, be it an outage of some major service, a breaking news, natural disasters - for me, wildfire info. The rest of twitter I couldn’t care less about.
