You shouldn't be token maxing or token minning, you should be token min maxing.
And the idea of min maxing is when you're in a video game, you want to get the most resources for the lowest cost.
So if you're playing League of Legends, you're going to put
just the right amount of gold into this particular item or this particular stat point in an RPG, and you're going to try and find the optimal build based on your resources.
You have confined resources.
And somehow, it feels like these...
tech and all these companies went through some sort of hallucinatory period where they lost sight of that they should always have been mid-maxing because that is the goal of business at all times, in all things.
You would never say like, oh yeah, we're ad-maxing this quarter.
We're going to buy as many ads as possible.
Oh, no, it didn't work.

They were not effective.

So the lesson that will be learned from that is don't spend $90,000 a day.

And it works sometimes.
And sometimes Super Bowl ads deliver $20 million in value.
