Tune in to hear what the short and long-term effects are!  TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES: [00:25] Today’s topic: If Big Brands Boycotting Facebook and Instagram Ads Make A Difference. [00:33] The context for the episode and what companies are demanding from these platforms. [01:03] Facebook has many other stakeholders to please and has therefore not done much.  [01:14] Many big brands are pulling their ads from Facebook. [01:38] Why there will be a significant short-term impact on platforms like Facebook.  [01:49] In the long-run, it is likely that the brands will turn on their Facebook ads again. [02:10] The relevance of incentives for publicly traded companies.   [02:48] This is just a slap on the wrist for Facebook—but they still have the leverage. [03:08] The fact remains: Facebook drives a ton of sales for things like e-commerce.  [03:23] Work hard to build leverage and then you no longer need to work as hard.
