The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Nathan Putnam no published score: no usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q Yeah. We actually, we don't, we don't want to call your customers monkeys, but they're busy, right? Everyone's very, very busy. Um, okay. Let's talk about some of the economics because there's so many, I mean, one of my questions is why people use you over Google, right? Or AdSense. Why answer that question.

A Sure. Well, I mean, it comes down to competition, right? And I mean, the entire ad world is it's moving to what's called programmatic ad exchanges, you know, where it's basically machine learning and algorithms that are buying and selling ads as opposed to people, you know, using paper and fax machines. Um, where, where that's going is all of those exchanges function off of what's called the second price auction, which just means that, you know, Apple may want to buy an ad to, you know, an ad that displays to you for five bucks. And the next bid may only be 20 cents. That means Apple's going to be able to buy that ad for 20 to 21 cents.
