Yeah, the dumbest and worst people will be dying to get this. I don't see a problem

If AOC did this they'd burn down the Capitol

I would love to see the sales metrics that made them backpedal

That's fine if we have a sign when entering Texas warning us of all the dangerous things there compared to where they were coming from

So parents think it's a big taking advantage of you conspiracy to get you to spend $200 every 5 years but I don't remember seeing these news stories about cars lasting 5-7 years and needing to be replaced

Remember, news has always manufactured outrage for its customers (advertisers). Guess Nintendo didn't spend enough on the network

I'm glad this was in politics. Because it's certainly not news

The only reason conservatives win anything is because of lines on a fucking map. No one likes that shit

So, love this stuff. It's been my career for nearly 20 years

Check out the engagement rate/bounce rate on those. I bet it's 15% engagement, tops (meaning 85% bounced). Probably as low as 5%

That's typical for ads like this. You're right that you're losing half your traffic (though I would pick sessions, not users, to see it a bit clearer. GA4 makes it more difficult but you should be able to create it).

What happens is users scroll, users accidentally click, and immediately hit back because, oh shit, they didn't want to click. Ad registers a click, browser window is closed before your gtag registers. I bet their own pixel doesn't even fire, if you have it on the site

Then the ones who don't close it in time, that's what you're seeing in reporting. When your bosses or the marketing team ask what those users did, you can confidently say, without looking, "nothing" and you will be right 99% of the time.

Now, we could argue that display ads are NOT for direct responses. They are to supplement other campaigns so your brand is freshwe when you do something better like paid search or emails. But if they want to charge by the click, it's still useless traffic.

Does Reddit offer CPA (cost per action)? Doubt it, since the sub-0.05% conversion rate means they'll get almost nothing, and they know it.

Also, look into Looker studio for these reports (free with GA), since GA4 sucks so bad right now. Hit me up with a PM if you haven't used it but want some free pointers or lesson (I have a FT job, I'm not scrounging for freelance work)

Good. Finally something those assholes didn't somehow get people to believe was democrat's fault

If the politicians can do those jobs under those conditions for a week, have at it

The actual benefit would be some state reps would die during the exercise, and well, that's enough

The bots won't stop. And probably have increased. So it'll be tough to see without slices we'll never get

If Spez was secretly trying to sabotage Reddit and boost Lemmy, would he have even done anything differently?
