I think they are just saying that until we can treat sex like the things you mentioned, biking, gardening or watching a movie, then it will be viewed differently.
And we are not going to do that any time soon. You're right any experience can be special. But they are saying special treatment, we handle sex differently as a society. And while I think openness and education about sex is great I don't want my kid to walk down the street and see people having intercourse.
I think it's like how we sexualize breasts. Other cultures do not to the extent we do because they are just treated like another part of the body. They are not covered, they are always there. We hide them and show them off to get a glimpse, but for the most part they are censored in most situations in the U.S. That makes them not "just another experience". It drives curiosity.
Just a heads up. While it may have changed Google is pretty strict on publishing Adsense income with traffic figures. I'd just read up to make sure so you don't run into troubles.
Someone built on in my neighborhood and it stood for about a year before someone lit it on fire. It was rebuilt, hopefully it was just a random act of destruction and it will stick around this time.
They can lock down the listing so that only you can edit them with their partner sites. But it wouldn't work in this case since they are not partnered with Google. We just had a presentation from them at my work a few weeks ago.
You do get some strange differences. For example I compared Cincinnati to Savannah Georgia. It says a TV costs 2x as much in Savannah and that a $129 microwave in Cincinnati costs $500 in Savannah. Odd numbers like this throw off the total.
I don't often use taxis and I've never used Uber so I'm not specifically cheering for one side or the other. I know this isn't presented as an exhaustive study but basing the "results" on a single trip by each service doesn't prove much.
I found it odd that the article makes note that 36,000 ratings come from outside the U.S. Maybe I am missing something but wouldn't it be expected that many of a Bollywood movie's ratings would come from outside the U.S.?
Sounds like a great way to scam the advertisers. I doubt this will fly if it catches on since advertisers will be coming back at Spotify citing a big decrease in ad interaction.
