    Instacart is an advertising platform that dabbles in grocery delivery, just in time for the Retail Media Renaissance

    From Bloomberg:

    & a Google Shopping Ads partnership:

    powered by Instacart’s first-party retail media data and closed-loop insights, to reach high-intent consumers searching on Google and get their products into consumers' hands in as fast as an hour.


    YouTube—the unofficial king of podcasts—is coming for the crown.

    I knew Google paid Apple a lot for default search engine status, but seeing it put this way was still crazy:

    Google pays Apple Inc. 36% of the revenue it earns from search advertising made through the Safari browser

    This is why everyone (Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI) wants a hardware platform. They want to own the access point, because value accrues there.

    Defaults are powerful. And the device can set the defaults.
