拧旋钮调高广告投放:dial up the ads

一个人刷手机刷到接近平均使用时长,系统先 pull back on friends and family(减少这类内容的推送),再 squeeze in(见缝插针地插入)一条球鞋广告。想聊科技公司怎么调你的信息流,这两个说法马上能用。

发生了什么

有人把话挑明:人们以为被卖掉的是自己的数据,这只是一个 misconception(普遍的错误看法),真正管用的是模型——They build models that predict our actions(他们建模型预测我们的行为)。讲到使用时长时,一句 pull back on friends and family(减少这类内容的推送)之后,又 squeeze in(见缝插针地插入)一条球鞋广告。很多科技公司有三个目标:drive up your usage(把使用量往上推)、拉新、广告变现,需要时 dial up the ads(把广告调高一点)。
