That's  ....stunning.

<quote that hit home>all streams will eventually turn into marketing-infested flows.

QuoteWhile $112 per user seems like a lot of revenue for Facebook, there's no reason Facebook couldn't 10x their ARPU in a few more years. Better ad targeting = more revenue per user.

I'll add that "better targeting" is likely to run into more and more user & legislative headwinds re privacy.

$112 seems low. I guess a lot of low value people spend a lot of time there though.

>dogs and ads
sidenote - is it just me or is dog the new cat, now? online pics, memes, etc.

Dogs (a.k.a. good bois ) are definitely gaining ground, particularly labs, corgis, & huskies.  But they have a looooong way to go to challenge cat dominance, imo.
