Marketplaces have very good...Ads businesses? Instacart: $740M Uber: ~$1B Amazon: $14B I wonder what it looks like on Faire, Turo, Meesho, Classpass, etc. Will there be a world in which there's a low/no take rate marketplace just powered by ads?

Slack's newest feature: a Tinder-like UI for catching up on everything that happened! Personally think this is an early experiment towards what will eventually become a "TikTok for business" UI. It's likely to happen in the next few years
