Tough business to understand if you don't have a little background in advertising sales. Great piece, thank you spending the time explaining!

Great piece! Shifting deeper into advertising while differentiating from traditional platforms is a smart move. The potential in that space is huge. Let's see if there's any merit to short-seller reports, but either way, the growth path is there. Thanks for the insights in the business, and solid work on the valuation! Will keep watching.

Thanks for the comment. I also think the Vurl acquisition was brilliant. They paid only $380M and now can push out streaming ads to their existing demand-side clients.

Would you mind sharing your biggest issue with the company? Is it the short reports?

Insightful take! AppLovin’s AI-driven ad loop is impressive—excited to see how they scale this advantage.

Great that you flag the short seller report.
