Do you really wanna pay for the privilege of going through all of this? Do yourself a favor and just leave it at a web app. That way you can still keep your creative freedom.

I'm enjoying how unhinged some of these comments are sounding. Should make for a good case study later on.

Because otherwise you end up with the jankyness of a game like Oxygen Not Included instad of the solidness of a game like Factorio.

Its an ok player, but its not designed well:

- No stop button

- No way to easily stop buffering

- Auto pops open the mini player when you navigate away from the page

- Autoplay being agressively enabled by default.

All of these make it like an nightmare ex-spouse situation where all you want to do is have it stop draining your bandwidth to play videos but it won't let you go.

This is partially the answer. Sometimes people are running ad blockers that block sending events to Facebook, so the "Item Purchased" event never gets sent, but the account was created with an email that can be used in custom audiences, so the email is retargeted as if they never purchased the thing.

Or someone goofed and forgot to include the exclude "item purchased" event in the criteria

Because they are still serving an ad in that spot, just one that costs the advertiser more as the now have to bid in a larger pool.

FB actually ends up profiting pretty well from this change (at the cost of losing some of the small business advertising that was priced out)

But surely, there are car enthusiasts who read about cars that would never read an article about California wine, but would benefit from knowing about it.

In your world, that person misses out on the pleasures of california wine

> you(stereotypical US IT worker) have little to no paid vacation, work 8-12h a day, sometimes even on the weekends?

Oddly defensive considering that a) nobody in the thread seems to be american and b) none of those things apply to your average google employee (the original subject that was being discussed)

Oddly enough, I find the bottom up management style leads to OKR obsession (at scale). When too many smart people get in the room, they all start to have bright ideas and management is stuck trying to decipher which ones to actually implement.

The engineer who can come up with the biggest number, wins.
