  • I feel like Inflation is not hitting me as much as my suburban friends. They keep complaining about the big grocery store chain collusion (they got caught increasing bread prices a few years back).

    Where I live there’s line 3 mom&pop produce/pastry/butcher between me and the big chain grocery store. My big chain grocery store is cheaper then other store of the same franchise.

    We built huge expensive highway sso huge corps could build mega stores that killed all the locally owned stores. Now they so what they want.











  • I know Ence is one team in CSGO who’s generating profits. They are a smaller orgs that has in game success.

    I think the issue is you have some teams full of venture money that inflates the salaries and makes it super hard for other teams to have in game success while not going broke.

    That being said my suggestion for csgo (it’s only scene I follow) would be leagues line in traditional sports. Each team plays a game every week and you have playoffs at the end of the year. Put those league games on your own platform and have people pay a subscription to watch. I would pay up to 100$/year (I’m aware I’m the exception). With this model you might even be able to have a few hubs where games are played at a small venue in front of paying crowd. I could imagine a few hubs where teams would move to to play regularly. Something like: New York, Rio, Malta, Copenhagen, Moscow

    I think one of the biggest problem is demographics, the younger generations that’s in eSports is broke. No eSports fan is going to buy a Dodge RAM (using this as an example because traditional sports are littered with pick up ads and the car industry is a huge advertiser because they need to constantly gaslight people into thinking that driving isn’t a chore)


  • “Google is in every part of this value chain. As we see it they hold a dominant position in both the sell side and the buy side in order to favor their own ad exchange,”

    I have seen ad tech middlemens that ~75% of the ads they “buy” come from Google dv360 and ~75% of all ads they sell was to Google ad manager.

    The only close competition to Google is Facebook and Amazon mostly because they have their own closed garden big enough to sustain ad exchange. On the open web (random apps and websites) it’s all Google.
