Retail stores make way less than that. Their margins are razor thin.

As long as it stays private, it really doesn’t matter. Enshitification comes from public stockholdership, venture capital or private equity trying to get insane returns on overpriced assets.
They make 30% of the gross sales on their platform… nobody prints money like Valve does.
For reference, stores refuse Amex because they take 1%-2% more than Visa/Mastercard on gross sales. Steam takes 30% and nobody gives a shit. lol

They paid 4 billion (7+ billion adjusted for inflation) and 16 months later sold it for $0 and still took hundreds of millions in losses. lol

End of the day, Facebook is that desperate for engagement. They’ll allow anything to happen on the platform.

1·26 days agoI plan to set one up with a little La Crosse weather station my parents gave me. Turns out it seems well supported and gives me accurate indoor and outdoor temperature as well as wind speed and other stuff like storm predictions. Gonna link my heat pump to it and have my NTFY ping me when I should start the fireplace instead.
We get a lot of small microclimates where I live so its more reliable than the forecast.

Im not critical, Im just saying 30% is a good business that pays well. They dont need to scalp more off the top.
