Yes, you can.

I think best item at Starbucks is the thing that has the spinach and the feta wrap.

The spinach feta wrap.

That's kind of the big question that's been asked for the last few years because when Apple dropped the Ask App Not to Track feature and then Meta was like, wouldn't you rather that you had more integrated?

And it's like, it's kind of, I don't know.

I know a lot of people who buy a lot of things from Instagram ads.

So I've never bought anything from an Instagram ad because I will not let them win.

But I know that it can be quite effective for a lot of people.

It reminds me of that story of the woman who didn't know she was pregnant, but Amazon did, because it was serving Target.

Yeah, Target.

And then they start recommending things for certain stages.

destroyed ever since they did all the like you can pay to get like placed up higher and better reviews or whatever no one cares about yelp anymore yelp has also famously like kind of exploited people businesses and called them and be like we're gonna take you off of our recommendations if you don't pay us that's yeah like there are stories about this it's crazy yeah so yeah well we'll see i mean it's i don't even know how many people actually use apple maps anymore but yeah or not anymore but ever did

It is frustrating.

Even in Google Maps, it'll be like best food near me and it'll give me like a 4.5 because that restaurant like paid for it or whatever.

It's like suggested sponsored result.

And it's like, ugh.

Yeah, Apple is in this weird place where it's like slowly trying to transition towards other revenue sources because they're scared of the iPhone making less money over time.

Yeah.

All of these things happening and, you know, they can't retain as many people as they want on their other services.

This will come up again later in this podcast.
