> Now Meta, the trillion-dollar company

How is it that Meta is worth a trillion dollars?

They capture around 15% of global ad spending.

$200bn annual revenue with a 5x sales multiple gets you to a trillion dollars.

Turns out sucking up all the information there is and displaying ads is worth a lot.

    they provide a platform that can maybe sometimes nudges an individual purchasing decisions in one direction.
