Diseconomies of scale in fraud, spam, support, and moderation

Could be the all the other costs go down when you get bigger which makes moderation look expensive.

But the fraud is shocking. Whenever I use Facebook I see two ads on the left that imitate UI elements from the site that point to an obvious scam. Watch YouTube? 3 scams in a row. And a politician who wants money. And a product I might want but I think it has to be a scam given the other ads. I can’t believe they aren’t in a place where the scams are lowering the effectiveness of the other advertising.

Was thinking the other day we should change the laws to make it easier to sue for damages for shoddy products and services, like you’d think an $800 phone that is supposedly the best there is would ring when people call you but no, it doesn’t.
