Periodically some cronjob at Twitter HQ decides I’m less a content producer and more a monetizable eyeball, and then I get a *brisk* tour of every new Japanese dating app. This seems to be inefficient for all parties.

Part of me wishes I could just buy my attention back, but I know the reason for that is adverse selection (eyeballs are cheap but your eyeball is expensive if you would happily pay money for software), but there’s *clearly* a way for Twitter to charge me $1k+ a month.

“You’d pay $1k a month for Twitter!?!” If the long-term value of me writing on the Internet for a month doesn’t annihilate that number I’m doing something terribly wrong.

It would be a stretch to describe Twitter as Bloomberg Terminal for me but it is a lot less of a stretch than I would have predicted when I started using it.

Ad targeting algorithms just aren't that sophisticated. I visited the US once and when I was back home I got ads for doing a temp job for the US census. Like even if I wanted to do it I'm an improbable work visa short of being even legally allowed to do it.

targeting strategies vary a lot, and unsophisticated approaches make economic sense in many cases. the creepy/impressive stuff isn't fake just not universal
