What about the significant drop in ad spending which occurs in every recession? Or is it "different this time" like in 2000?


I'm probably biased because Tipjoy isn't affected in the least by a drop in spending in Ads. We're probably boosted, all things being equal. Consumer frugality would certainly affect us though.

Your business model shouldn't change on the margins. A slow or fast season in Ads won't make a typical business die or become viable.


Otherwise you would be, by definition, a marginal business, and that's not a good place to be (again by definition, the first one to die when things go bad).
