Just more mud on the wall to see what sticks. This moron is as clueless as a boatload of fish.
“eBay CEO Devin Wenig envisions having an algorithm decide where to place Promoted Listing ads on its site to help eBay monetize pixels on every screen”
I envision the sec to finally put this fraud pos in prison.
Clueless is right…programming is taking ebay down, not up.
Just another fee hike in disguise… How about every single seller promote every single listing on ebay??? Wouldn’t that be great for revenue projections??. Oh, right, because If EVERY seller promoted, then nothing is “promoted.” Somebody needs to give Devin “Bezos” a golden parachute NOW and push him off a cliff with it.
The more programing they do the more the site gets messed up. Do these morons even have a clue. Their AI is about as smart as a 2 year old and the 2 year old might be smarter. They are trying to tweak an almost 15 year old platform that should have been updated 10 years ago but that would take money out of the elite management pockets so that will never happen.
Their IT department has been loaded with idiots for years now and eventually the whole program is going to crash. Look how long it took them to get pages set up as HTTPS and they still do not have all of the pages set up.
There is only one thing that can be said about eBay and it is: KISS
eBay = Dead Man Walking
They consider “advertising” means stealing the last few dollars a seller has in their pocket just to make a sale when they already pay store fees????
Lousy weasel of a human being.
To call this fool a clown does a disservice to clowns. Clowns are funny. This weasel is not.
PIXEL counting? YEAKS back to those 4 Meg digital cameras!
