Whoops, Facebook thinks we're a dating site!

Here’s the post:

You can read it here for tips on how to give a killer presentation and how to network at conferences.

And then we got this disapproval:

It’s easy to mock Facebook when they get it wrong.
Maybe their algorithm detected two people in the photo and words that dating sites use. Or maybe they see that we’ve run millions of dollars in ads for dating sites in the past.

But consider their viewpoint.
They did $7.8 billion in revenue in 2013. Let’s assume the average ad spent $100 (I’m making this up). That means that people would have created 78,000,000 ads.

That’s 213,698 ads per day.

If one ad operation can review 10 ads per minute, then we’re looking at 21,370 minutes of review time per day. That’s 44 people full-time at 8 hours per day.

Of course, some of these ads are auto-approved, there are ad buys in the millions, and there is non-ad revenue.

Now have some empathy for Facebook!

Curious to see how many people Google has in reviewing ads and search results…

I'm a member of Blitzmetrics Academy and a friend of Dennis to boot. Not only is Dennis highly intelligent and full of great and creative ideas, he's also incredibly generous with both his knowledge and his time. Success couldn't come to a better guy. Thank you for all that you do for the world, Dennis! 🙏

Working with Dennis has been a delightful experience. After meeting him in 2015 I got to collaborate with him on countless occasions. His understanding for state-of-the-art marketing, his implementation, and his leadership put him into the top 0.01% of marketers and mentors.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Dennis for my podcast in 2021 and since then we have maintained a friendship that grows with each interaction. I have seen Dennis' devotion to his friends and clients firsthand, and our conversations often result in us talking about how we can provide more value to the people around us. He is someone whom I can ask questions on a technical level, and look to on a personal level. If you have any hesitancy about hiring him, get over yourself and do it!

Geez, where do I start recommending Dennis? First, he is an absolutely brilliant marketer who understands where marketing is today and where it's going tomorrow. He also has an incredible passion for the International Worker community. The lessons he has taught me from his almost 20 years of experience hiring International Workers have been immense. Most importantly though. Dennis Yu is someone who wants the absolute best for you and is willing to tell you the truth. Dennis sat with me at a point in my business where I was floundering but did not want to admit it. He asked some very straight forward questions to get me to admit my issues, highlighted the issues, and then helped me create a roadmap to success.
