Probably not - even though it may be more lucrative in terms of CPM, it's kind of cheap.

It is, but could be a lucrative one.

Likely not if they're able to make profit from it...

daneelsan | karma 178 | avg karma 4.81 · | 2022-04-07 11:18:42

Would it be profitable, though?

brucethemoose2 | karma 7874 | avg karma 2.4 · | 2023-07-17 12:59:55

It will if its more profitable, which it is.

No but it's a possible source of additional revenue.

megaduck | karma 1658 | avg karma 6.4 · | 2009-10-12 07:17:47

Given that the business models are largely the same, I doubt it.

kadavy | karma 2051 | avg karma 3.95 · | 2010-05-26 16:20:34+00:00

I guess so, but I'm no expert. I think this is an emerging industry, so I imagine it will be awhile before it is really turning profits.

endgame | karma 4977 | avg karma 4.46 · | 2017-02-06 05:35:35+00:00

Probably, but only so long as it's profitable.

zimpenfish | karma 8997 | avg karma 1.63 · | 2013-11-19 15:50:29+00:00

It might be bigger but is it more profitable?

spraak | karma 2505 | avg karma 1.72 · | 2018-06-08 14:36:07+00:00

Unlikely. Companies want more profit

LatteLazy | karma 5779 | avg karma 1.14 · | 2020-04-28 13:22:56

I wonder if it's profitable...

DenisM | karma 12146 | avg karma 2.48 · | 2009-01-23 21:26:46+00:00

Probably not in this economy though.

m4rtink | karma 3486 | avg karma 1.76 · | 2020-06-01 10:10:58

Definitelly - just has a high startup cost and possibly takes some time to get the material back.

vira28 | karma 811 | avg karma 2.65 · | 2023-08-07 22:17:04

I think so. It isn't about $$ that they are making. More of smaller/less obvious companies that take this path.

Yes which costs money...maybe a lot of money depending on how the market looks elsewhere.

rayiner | karma 121493 | avg karma 4.24 · | 2019-01-03 23:09:25

Probably not. This is a pretty competitive space, which pushes prices towards marginal costs.

int_19h | karma 21203 | avg karma 1.69 · | 2018-08-18 06:21:19+00:00

No. But depending on how much market share you have, it might come pretty damn close.

hippich | karma 6066 | avg karma 3.3 · | 2014-09-09 23:34:36+00:00

Not at this time, as it is potential core profit center :)

anc84 | karma 4227 | avg karma 4.7 · | 2015-11-03 06:16:48

Only if you talk about it in English which is a fraction of the potential market.
