A side note on The Trade Desk

The Fool has evidently decided to sell ad space on our posting windows, using Google. I keep getting the same ad from Google. (I must have clicked on it once by accident so it keeps sending it to me).

Google gives a place to X-out the ad, which I use. They ask why I’m closing it. I tell them either “I’m not interested in this ad” or “I’ve seen it too many times”. They say, “We’ll try to not give you this ad again.” We’ve done this, I estimate, 20 or 25 times, but the ad keeps coming. My conclusion is that whatever TTD does has to be better, inspite of my general lack of interest in advertising stocks.
Best,
Saul

I concur with this thought, Saul, as someone who has been on the TTD bandwagon for quite some time.

I have a very similar experience recently on Twitter, with Apple’s ads for the new iPhone. I have clicked probably 20+ times that I don’t like the ad (mostly just because it is always the exact same image of the screen with a planet on it…no variety). So, similarly to the Google ad lacking variety, Twitter’s serving up of that exact same image of the iPhone has annoyed me.

I recently added some TTD at $132, and I think it is still at an even better price now after the market downturns of this past week.

And… I have ONE ad on this page for me. Seems like Adblock is claiming “more than meets the eye”. :wink:
