I commented after the IOS14 stuff that FB revenue would obviously go up in Q3 as it has every quarter for years, to some incredulity on HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27845536.
As always, FB keeps on trucking.

So thank you for the quality comments. Especially from people working in the ads industry. Which often get attacked on HN just due to its nature.
Shoulda bet $10m on that!
PS - Always looking for insightful people w/experience in the FB platform for a variety of portfolio cos - are you anon here or some way to get in touch?
It’s amazing how supposedly rational people on HN are perfectly willing to extrapolate from their own highly biased sample just because they don’t like company X. (See also “nobody uses Windows”, “nobody in America has an Android phone”, etc.)
Yes, when they came out, they cost a LOT more than the competitors (I used Jabra). But wow, did they WORK well. It was no comparison really and was a lot of little things (just fewer bugs I think rather than features, they ALWAYS paired with my phone, pretty quickly, and had good battery life).
For a lot of consumers, they don't care about features, they just trust apple more than they would for example govt run email or govt made phones.
