You can buy 700 votes anonymously on reddit for really cheap
I don't see that it's a big deal, really. It's the same as it ever was.
Over a houndred dollars for 700 upvotes O_o
I wouldn't exactly call that cheap π€
On the other hand, ten or twenty quick downvotes on an early answer could swing things I guess ...
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.
I do use As Nauseum, I love it!
Honestly, most of them :). If you're reasonably wealthy (make above average wage), every ad you click will cost advertisers at least 25-50Β’. The value of your clicks will go down a little depending on a few things, but anything on a website that serves its own ads instead of going through a 3rd party network (think Reddit ads) will stay in the 25-50Β’ range, if not more
I run a digital currency investment group.
I can make 10-15k per day, so it's not a lot in the grand scheme of things
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're right, as I said, I don't know. That was why I asked.
Figure out punctuation first.
super relevant, not everyone speaks english as a first language.
Then those people should not try to insult others for their lack of knowledge about business while displaying a lack of proficiency in English.
Wasn't an attempt at that btw but I don't think you care. It was meant to be more of a "oh boy let me tell ya" but I guess it didn't convey too well. They said they don't know anything about marketing costs. I was talking about business costs in general which is not the same thing and are unbelievably expensive just because they are enterprise level and not consumer. That's why it shouldn't be surprising if any service, like advertising, for a business is more expensive than you thought.
But please explain to me what grammar or punctuation has to do with any of this, or were you just trying to be offensive for the sake of it? Super relevant, super productive. This is the kind of thing people are happy to be leaving reddit isn't it?
It's like how Dexter only murders murderers, I only bully bullies. οΏΌ I really get the feeling that you weren't trying to now so I'm sorry for that but when you ask some one "οΏΌthey really know nothing about X do they" it's always considered insulting.
