Waze advertising killed by Google
Waze Map got acquired by Google for $1.3 Bn in 2013. 10 years later, Google's decided to cease Waze’s ad platform in favour of Google Ads technology. Waze advertising was more than just ads; it’s about creating connections. Users enjoy relevant, location-centric promotions, while businesses connect with potential customers right when they’re most likely to visit. It’s a model that turned every drive into an opportunity – both for businesses to grow and for users to discover. Wrote about it here: https://talesofss.com/google-waze-advertising-changes/
Retention by Complexity: Spotify playlist to YT Music
There should be an easier free way to transfer Spotify playlist to YT Music (and vice versa) This is one of the reasons why premium users don't (more like can't) switch their music app This lack of interoperability may not be good for consumers, but businesses have been utilising this "retention by complexity" strategy to keep the churn in control. This retention by complexity approach, subtle yet effective, involves creating systems, services, or products that are so intricately embedded in the user’s lifestyle or workflows that the thought of switching to an alternative feels overwhelmingly cumbersome A few examples of business (apart from Spotify): https://talesofss.com/retention-by-complexity-how-brands-keep-you-hooked/
