Both Google, which owns YouTube, and Facebook face a constant shortage of highly qualified and experienced workers. Unilever may be one of the few institutions on earth that Facebook needs more than it needs Facebook. Why did it take so long, however, to get major tech companies to change their tune? Why weren’t the leaders of Reddit, YouTube and Facebook willing to take such steps in the aftermath of the 2017 genocide of the Rohingya minority in Myanmar? It’s likely these advertisers will return to Facebook – still the best advertising platform ever created – after the US election in November.
