“EBay Is Revamping Its Marketplace With The Help Of Triad Retail Media”http://ewireinformer.com/ebay-is-revamping-its-marketplace-with-the-help-of-triad-retail-media-341501.html“eBay Inc., within the past year, has been discreetly removing approximately 90% of the advertisements that had occupied the site. Their reasoning for this, according to Christopher Payne, who is in charge of the North American eBay operations, is because the ads were detrimental to the experience of buying and selling. He continued that these ads were largely irrelevant to users because most of them took consumers off-site.”
And as a commenter on auctionbytes.com has already noted: “It takes an MBA to reach a conclusion like this?”
No wonder this organization is going down the toilet. I’m still trying to figure out how these headless eBay turkeys find their way home every night (or do they all sleep on the floor of their cubicles?). There certainly is no logic involved in any of their decision-making processes; could it be something they learnt by rote at Bain & Co?
