Advertising is effective as long as you have lots of VC money to compete with other competitors by overspending. It's far less effective if the company has to be profitable.

The future of ad revenue will depend on when the VC bubble will pop. As long as the interest rates stay 0%, it's not over yet.

Look at what happened to Yahoo after the dotcom bust and startups weren’t using VC money for advertising.
