Paul Stamatiou @StammyEight years at Twitter! ? That?s the longest an IC designer has been with Twitter. Here because I still believe in the mission, love the product and team. Not here because I?m ?comfy? or lazy. Talked to dozens of companies over the years, this is still where I want to be.

The process of getting married today is broken In the future, you'll be able to apply for a partner and get married 60 seconds later Thread: How NFTs will change marriage forever:

The way marriage (mostly) works today: 1. You apply to 50 dating apps and marriage portals with your CV 2. You get 5 dates to prove competency 3. You hope 5/5 are able to properly gauge your skills to get a marriage offer Buuuut CV + a date often doesn’t tell the whole story

Let's be real: - Many dates don’t date well - Many dates undersell themselves - Many dates have prejudice - Many dates lie on dating apps and don't resemble their bio on actual dates Bottom line: we could do better

The web3 enabled internet will give you quests, adventures to prove your worth as a potential partner You'll earn on-chain credentials You’ll use your credentials to prove who you are, what your interests are and what people say about you You can't hide from the blockchain ;)

How it will work: - You apply for a date - It scans the blockchain and rates your set of on chain experiences, interests, and credentials - If above a certain rating, you get married within 60 secs No prejudice, no wasted time, no pain. Just a quick yes or no This is a big deal

We are already seeing a glimpse of the future of what on chain credentials This is just the beginning Will startups be the driving force for this new on chain revolution? Or will Tinder/ Shaadi dot com go deep here? Who knows, but this is this the direction we're headed

Read Thread

An *enormous thread* on alleged @Google @Facebook collusion based on the just-released *unredacted* complaint from the Texas AG. First filed December. Anything PURPLE is newly unredacted. Yellow/Orange is just normal highlights. 1/?

Online advertising is enormous. Google's Exchange process processes 11bn online ad spaces / day. Google says "more daily transactions are made on AdX than on the NYSE and NASDAQ combined."

Google also owns the largest buy-side and sell-side brokers. "It is pitcher, batter, and umpire, all at the same time," says complaint. Senior GOOG employee: “[t]he analogy would be if Goldman or Citibank owned the NYSE.” More to the point -- if NYSE was the only stock exchange

Google started a programme Dynamic Allocation, ostensible to maximize revenue for publishers. In reality it was to "snatch publishers' best inventory at the expense of publishers' best interests," complaint alleges.

To respond, competitors came up with HEADER BIDDING: publishers could route ad inventory to multiple exchanges to solicit highest bid. By 2016, this was adopted by 70% of major US on-line publishers GOOG to public: "Not at all" a threat to us GOOG in private: existential threat”

Google's response - "secretly made its own exchange win, even when another exchange submitted a higher bid," complaint alleges. The program's name: Jedi.

Google's own words: Jedi program “generates suboptimal yields for publishers and *serious risks of negative media coverage if exposed externally*.” One GOOG employee proposed **"NUCLEAR OPTION"** of cutting GOOG exchange fees down to zero.

Then comes @Facebook. In March 2017 Facebook throws its weight behind header bidding. Big threat. "Facebook communications reveal that Facebook executives fully understood why Google wanted to cut a deal with them: “they want this deal to kill header bidding.”

Google doesn't want to compete with Facebook. Says it would rather "build a moat" by collaborating instead. Facebook anticipated this in "an 18 month head bidding strategy" -- new unredacted detail.

Facebook and Google allegedly agreed on quotas for how often Facebook would win publishers's auctions -- "literally manipulating the auction with minimum spends and quotas for how often Facebook would bid and win," complaint alleges.

Google employees discussed "a Jedi mind trick" on the industry to cut off exchanges in header bidding.

Newly unredacted "tax" figure: "Google now uses its immense market power to extract a very high tax of 22 to 42 percent of the ad dollars otherwise flowing to the countless online publishers and content producers such as online newspapers"

Old but still juicy: Complaint alleges: "the open internet is now threatened by a single company" + "Google’s current dominance is also merely a preview of its future plans" + "Google uses “privacy” as a pretext to conceal its true motives."

Unredacted figures: "publishers generally make almost all (~80 percent) of their revenue from just a small portion (~20 percent) of their impressions."

Old, still juicy: "Now, Google monopolizes the publisher ad server market for display inventory through its product called Google Ad Manager (GAM). Today, GAM controls over 90 percent of this product market in the United States."

How much Google's exchange charges: "Google’s exchange charges publishers 19 to 22 percent of exchange clearing prices, which is double to quadruple the prices of some of its nearest exchange competitors." "exponentially higher than analogous exchange fees on a stock exchange."

A Google employee conceded: an exchange shouldn't be an immensely profitable business ... (it should be) like a public good used to facilitate buyers and sellers."

Google's Display Advertising Network, GDN, extracts been higher fees: 32-40%

"Google internal documents suggest that Google’s share of the market* is eight times larger than FAN’s. *Market here is mobile app network market

"Google Ads" - ad buying tool for what Google calls "smaller, less sophisticated advertisers" charges 8-9% commission to purchase inventory from exchange; or 15% from Google's exchange.

Google considered “creating a completely neutral platform like the NYSE,” they ultimately chose instead to stack the deck in their favor by owning the exchange. Google gives itself speed advantages - that's how it wins 80%+ of auctions on AdX

"GOOG's unilateral ability to extract non-competitive ad server fees demonstrates its monopoly power." New: GOOG charges 5% of gross spend for routing inventory to non-G exchanges Its ad server charges 10% fee of gross transactions for routing inventory to non-Google ad networks

"Industry experts compare a change in ad servers to “switching engines in mid-flight.” Google’s internal documents confirm publishers’ high switching costs. Because switching costs are high, publishers are effectively locked in."

Google's ad exchange held 60% share of all display ad inventory sold on US exchanges by Oct 2019. Among high-value users, its market share is "over 80%" "Google’s closest exchange competitors typically transact a mere 4 to 5 percent of the same publishers’ exchange impressions"

cc @eric_seufert @DinaSrinivasan @alexdbauer @keleftheriou @AdTechExplained @dhh @jason_kint @CoryMckane @corinnejames @antoniogm @hackingbutlegal @ashleygjovik @larakiara @thezedwards More coming....

re Google’s monopoly power in the display ad exchange market and charging "supra-competitive prices" -They are 19-22% of every trade, vs. closest competitors paying 5-15%. And still, smaller players can't grow.

Good felt pressure in 2018 on its 20% fee, in 2018. Yet: Its fee increased from 20% in 2017 to 22% in 2019. "Google has insulated its exchange from any of the competitive market dynamics that would otherwise incentivize them to lower their prices."

"When rival exchanges attempted to gain market share by lowering prices in 2017, Google’s exchange maintained or even increased prices and still increased share. Competing exchanges have not been able to meaningfully increase share, despite some cutting take rates by half"

"GDN charges high double-digit commissions of at least 32 percent on advertising transactions, which, according to public sources, is double the “standard rate” elsewhere in the industry."

Why does Google charge such high rates? Because "we can," executive said in 2016. "Smaller pubs don't have alternative revenue sources."

"Prior to Google’s anticompetitive conduct, the markets for ad exchanges and publisher ad servers were competitive...." In 2009, when Yahoo process 9bn daily ad impressions, Google's exchange transacted fewer than 200m.

What is a DAO? Let me try to explain using an example: Imagine that you want to work for a hot tech startup...

1/ Instead of applying for a job, you can just join this startup's Slack with one click. There's no real onboarding - you see dozens of channels right away. It's overwhelming but you start exploring...

2/ You introduce yourself and another person reaches out. They point you to two different ways to work for this startup: 1. Bounties 2. Teams

3/ "Bounties" is a massive JIRA board with tickets on everything from taking meeting notes to shipping a feature. You take notes for a meeting and share them in Slack. Someone marks the ticket as done and you get a few shares of the company in return.

4/ You want to contribute more and check out the #Growth team Slack. Someone leads this team but nobody reports to them. You volunteer to ship a marketing page for the website for 100 company shares.

5/ You're finding it hard to coordinate with other people on this team as everyone seems to be part time. Somehow you still manage to ship the page with another contributor and you both get more shares. You like that you only get rewarded if you put in the work vs. face time.

6/ You figured out why people are part time - they're all working for 5 other startups at the same time! People are just choosing to work on whatever they're most interested in. And almost all decisions at these startups are public for everyone on the internet to see.

7/ There does seem to be 20 people who are less part time at this startup. These core contributors all own significant company shares and can vote on decisions.

8/ A month into working for this startup you want to get some performance feedback. However, you don't have a manager. Instead, you meet 1:1 with core contributors to get feedback. There's also no career ladder, but...

9/ Someone submits a proposal to give you an $150K salary for your hard work. There's no CEO to approve this. Instead, all contributors vote and the proposal passes. You feel validated that you're getting a salary. Maybe you'll only work for 2 other startups instead of 5.

10/ So that's how this startup (DAO) works: 1. Most people are part time and work at multiple startups 2. All decisions are transparent 3. You earn the right to own more of the company by putting in the work

Hello #MEKAGANG !🦾🚀 What a hard and fantastic day yesterday... 🤯🥳 We hope you had a good time at our event. 🤍 ↓ We'd like to go over a few points raised in the community in order to clarify everthings and what’s happened in the last two days! 🤖 ↓

1. First, we received A LOT of notifications during the drop's launch, so we had to use Twitter and Discord less for the sake of our mental health and to stay focused on MekaVerse release. 🦾🧠

4. HUGE thank you to @MiindedStudio and everyone who helped us for managing the development side. This allowed everyone to have a smooth drop! 🤍

5. THE UNMINTED MEKA 👾 We are aware that a certain number of Tokens were not minted because of some Winners who were off during the event. Stay tuned as these MekaVerse NFTs will be used for giveaways to active members on Discord, supporters, and future events 🎉😊

6. SECONDARY MARKET STATISTICS 💎 📈 Current Floor: 5.1 ETH. 🤝Total Volume: 13.9K ETH. 🤖Total Meka Minted: 8593. 🔒 Unique Holders: 5453. This is crazy in less than 24 hours!🤯🤯 ☑️Our collection has been verified on @opensea ! → https://opensea.io/collection/mekaverse

We truly appreciate all of your support! It was not an easy task to handle so many people on the project, but we did it! Despite the project's excitement, we did all possible to ensure a seamless release. There is a lot you still haven't seen yet, love from the MekaVerse Team 🤍
