💰 Gig Economy Workers Are Earning Half What They Did Five Years Ago
More people are working for ride-sharing and delivery companies but on average they’re making less.
On average, drivers who transport people (#Uber or #Lyft) or things (#UberEats or #Postmates) through an app made 53 percent less in 2017 than they did in 2013, according to a new study by the JPMorgan Chase Institute.
The average monthly payments to those who worked for a transportation app in a given month declined to $783 from $1,469. Meanwhile, people working for leasing apps — #Airbnb, Turo, Parklee and other apps that let you rent assets like your home, car or parking space — saw their incomes from those platforms rise 69 percent to $1,736 on average.
This is happening as online gig work has become more popular, thanks in large part to the growth in the number transportation jobs.

🤖 Android's Dominance
Ten years ago, on September 23, 2008, the T-Mobile G1 made its debut, marking the birth hour of #Android. More than a year after #Apple had released the first #iPhone, Android’s debut wasn’t as spectacular and, as opposed to the iPhone, the first Android device still had a physical keyboard. But #Google’s open approach to building a mobile platform quickly proved to be successful and it took less than three years for Android to become the number 1 platform in the booming smartphone market.

This is an interesting viewpoint. It seems that the more money you make from technology the more you shield your children from it. Thoughts?

🖼 Billboards Are Back!
It’s the era of internet #advertising. The era of targeting that tracks you across browsers, platforms and across the city. The era of apps that know what you want before you do.
But surprisingly, a seemingly retro ad format — outdoor advertising — is also having its heyday.
Ads on billboards, buses and at venues like baseball stadiums are expected to see record spending this year. Worldwide ad spend on so-called “out-of-home” advertising is expected to reach $38 billion this year, up 3 percent since last year and 35 percent since 2010, according to data from ad measurement company Zenith.

📺 Who’s Watching the Ads on YouTube?
This week, #YouTube announced a new type of in-stream ad format, positioned as a new way for “advertisers to connect with their audience” by allowing viewers to move beyond mere click-through interactions and onto more complex transactions, like downloading an app or buying a movie ticket.
According to Verto data gathered over the past year, men and Millennials spend the most time watching ads on YouTube’s mobile app.
Men spend an average of 6 minutes per month watching ads on the app, compared to just under 4 minutes per month among women (and an average of just under 5 minutes per month for all users).
Younger #Millennials (18-24) rack up an average of 9 minutes per month watching ads on the YouTube mobile app, which is nearly double the amount of time that older Millennials (25-34) spend with ads on the YouTube app.
