Yet another example of multi billion dollar companies that don't curate their content because it's too hard and expensive. Well too bad maybe you only profit 46 billion instead of 55 billion. Boo hoo.
Your example is 9 billion difference. This would not cost 9 billion. It wouldn't even cost 1 billion.
Yeah realistically you're talking about a team of 10 to 30 people whose entire job is to give the final thumbs up or thumbs down to an ad.
You're talking one to three million dollars a year, maybe throw an extra million on for the VP.
Chump change, they just don't want to pay it cuz nobody's forcing them to
It would take more than 10-30 to run a content review department for any of the major social media firms, but your point still stands that it wouldn’t be a billion annually. A few 10s of millions between wages/benefits/equipment/software all combined annually
