I suspect it's a bi-modal distribution. Which isn't good news for most advertisers, since the upper tier don't buy common things and the lower tier don't buy anything unless they have to...


What makes you suspect that? Advertisers drool over programmers who make $70-100k a year.


Yes, there are the programmers who are making 6-figures, and then there are the ones who are stretching the pennies trying to get their startup off the ground.

The rich ones are too smart to buy just any random stuff you put in front of them and the poor ones are too busy trying to get rich to pay attention.


That's so ignorant that I would downmod it if I could. People with a lot of money buy stuff all the time, they're very desirable to advertisers for that reason. That's why LinkedIn gets CPM rates that are over 100x Facebook's.

Advertising isn't just targeted at dumb people.


Wow, you totally miss my point; and you do so in the most abrasive and rude manner possible.

And it's kind of a moot point because this site doesn't carry ads. And if it did, would be less attractive to many of us.
