The best part of the fediverse is that anyone can run their own server. The downside of this is that anyone can easily create hordes of fake accounts, as I will now demonstrate.
Fighting fake accounts is hard and most implementations do not currently have an effective way of filtering out fake accounts. I’m sure that the developers will step in if this becomes a bigger problem. Until then, remember that votes are just a number.
For the companies who want a huge advantage over others, $100 is nothing in an advertising budget.
I have a small business and I do $1000 a week in advertising.
I don’t know anything about advertising but what are you doing that costs $1000 a week? I am legitimately curious.
Advertising is incredibly expensive. I pay upwards to $1/click for one of my services targetting a specific group.
If you hate ads, use something like Ad Nauseum instead of UBlock origin. You’ll cost companies hundreds of dollars a day.
You have no idea about business expenses do you. I work in the events industry, corporations hold single evening events for their higher up employees for 10s of thousands in only technical expenses, before the venue asks for rent, or the catering etc. A single month of any basic service on the enterprise level starts from 5 grand.
People are down voting you for responding to someone saying they don’t know and would like to know more with “you have no idea do you?”. Like yeah, they said so themselves.
You have no idea about business expenses do you.
Figure out punctuation first.
huge advantage over others, $100 is nothing in an advertising budget.
the only problem here is that 700 reddit upvotes is not “huge advantage over others”. i honestly fail to see how someone could pay $100 for that. i’d consider $10 too much.
or do you spend your $1000 budget on 7000 reddit upvotes? :D
