Charles Koch: When People Lose Meaning, Societies Lose Freedom

You guys ever notice how the real money in advertising hides in plain sight, like a magician whose trick is to pretend there’s no trick at all? Here’s the setup, straight from the land of corporate fog and buzzwords: Thanks to our partner Axon.ai for making this possible. Because nothing says progress like a logo and a lobbyist handshake. Most advertisers have never heard of the platform with an $11 billion annual run rate in ad spend. Eleven BILLION, and somehow the people paying for it are still pretending it’s a secret club. Axon.ai by AppLovin — 1 billion-plus daily active users, full-screen video ads watched for a median of 35 seconds, and businesses are profitably burning hundreds of thousands of dollars a day on it. Profitable. For whom? The people who sell the airbrushed dreams to your eyeballs. Advertiser access is in closed beta. The window is open at axon.ai/allin, if you’re into that sort of exclusive, you know, “open” door that’s really a velvet rope.
