  An Indian foundation called Kesakambali engineered a solution to river pollution using something most people throw away. Human hair. Hair absorbs oil up to nine times its own weight. Kesakambali processes it into felted mats and places them in polluted drains before waste reaches the Yamuna river. The mats trap grease, chemicals, and heavy metals before they ever reach the water. *** and COD levels reduced by 40 percent. Once saturated, the mats are recycled into agricultural mulch. Each kilogram conserves up to 20,000 litres of water annually. Started in 2023. Over 1,000 kg of waste recycled already. The answer to one of India's biggest environmental problems was sitting in a barbershop floor. #Kesakambali #YamunaRiver #CleanIndia

  @xangelink @CODWarfareForum @johnnyjl96 PS3 COD games online multiplayer is broken on a technical level, I don’t know if they’d get new “better” servers but I think they would either have to fix the underlying PS3 issue or it’ll be the same crappy servers but just exclusive to PS4/5

  @BirnoOCE Hardware ban would prevent them from cheating they would have to fully replace their ip address and there whole entire setup this would do wonders instead of allowing them to make new accounts to keep cheating, cod has same issues

  @TheMilSimGuy08 Bunch of larpers that hate on the newest COD titles but would readily accept PORTS of the ol reliable without knowing anything about the servers or hacking issues

  @Azazelop123 @puikula_peruna @ThePapaGut Except even in that context you’re still wrong. If the overwhelming majority of people playing games like CoD, Fortnite, & other live service games were teens and kids we wouldn’t have as many people complaining about the recent changes to gaming.

  @thicc_stick_boi No longer a Sony fan here but Sony at least has some success with their games recently, occasionally. Xbox? Not really... What was the last one besides the oblivion remake and forza that did well for them? Live service ones like CoD and sea of thieves? I'm not sure

  "ROAS & other efficiency metrics (NC-ROAS, aMER et al.) are misleading." I say this a lot. Sharing my rationale below. Please correct me where I am wrong. When an experienced operator like Sarah shares an opinion, I genuinely want to evaluate my blind spots. Full agreement on one thing: blended anything hides problems, and splitting new from returning is non negotiable. Here is what I keep snagging on. The three warning signs the post leans on - new customer revenue trending down, - first purchase contribution at -30% against a planned -10%, and - payback slipping from month 2 to month 6, none of them show up in ROAS, NC-ROAS, or aMER. First purchase contribution is a Contribution Profit number. Payback is either a cash timing question, or the LTV payback window. New customer revenue is a top line dollar figure. So the real early warning system here is 𝘀𝗲𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸. That is the layer I would anchor on. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝗶𝗻 Built on Gross Sales, ROAS and aMER go blind to discounts and returns. A heavily discounted month can read as efficient while the real margin erodes. Build them on Net Sales instead, and that leakage is already inside the number. One problem solved. But even on Net Sales, these ratios still cannot see your Cost of Delivery. They stay 𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗠𝟭 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗠𝟮. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗲 If your COD percentage moves, from tariffs (the live one right now), a supplier price increase, freight, a 3PL change, or higher returns, your gross margin moves, and CM1 and CM2 move with it. Your ROAS can hold at 4.0 all month. Your aMER can sit perfectly still. Every efficiency ratio looks calm. And your Contribution Profit dollars quietly fall, because a revenue over spend ratio cannot see a cost change. Take spend decisions off those ratios while margin slides underneath, and you scale straight into a smaller contribution number. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 aMER and NC-ROAS both hang on one figure, new-customer Net Sales set against ad spend. The trouble is what is sitting inside that new-customer Net Sales number. Three things it quietly blends together. Past spend. A chunk of this month's new customers were primed by ads you ran weeks or months ago. Their Net Sales lands in this month's sales figure, but that spend is not in this month's spend total. Efficiency reads better than what today's dollars actually earned. Organic baseline. Some of those new customers were always coming, from word of mouth, brand, retail, referrals. The ratio hands every one of them to paid. Strip your organic baseline out and the real paid efficiency is lower than the blended number suggests. Delayed conversions. The spend you are running right now is priming new customers who have not bought yet. They are not in this month's Net Sales, so the ratio understates what today's spend is building. A brand investing in priming can look inefficient in the exact month its pipeline is filling. And the spend side has its own gap. These ratios put total ad spend against new-customer sales, while some of that spend might be going toward returning customers, intentionally or unintentionally. With proper exclusions set up you can keep most of that out, so it is a smaller issue, but a raw ratio still mixes acquisition and retention spend. So the sales side and the spend side do not line up in time, and the sales side does not separate paid from organic. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲. And attribution is never fully clean to begin with. That is a lot of weight to hang a spend decision on. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗲 A ROAS or aMER target is an average. Spend is a marginal decision. Assume 60% gross margin, so Gross Profit is Net Sales after COD: Spend $1,000/day at 4.0 blended ROAS: Net Sales $4,000, Gross Profit $2,400, Contribution Profit $1,400/day. Spend $5,000/day at 2.5 blended ROAS: Net Sales $12,500, Gross Profit $7,500, Contribution Profit $2,500/day. Worse efficiency. 𝟳𝟴% 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘀. Optimize to the ratio and the math quietly tells you to spend less and sell less to protect the average, and you can starve the contribution you needed to cover fixed costs and the cash cycle. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝘀 For daily diagnosis and steering, they earn their place. The pull is simpler: get the whole team optimizing toward the same dollar. A lot of fast growing subscription brands like to simplify around a target like this: returning customer CM2 covers OPEX, new customer CM2 covers acquisition. Clear that, and the surplus shows up as net profit. Not a universal law, just a clean way many of them keep decisions simple. Here is what I would actually like challenged. In ten years I have only seen efficiency metrics mislead people when those metrics were not anchored to revenue, profit, and cash. I have not seen a brand stay obsessed with revenue, profit, and cash and then get burned because it under-weighted the efficiency ratios. If you have seen the reverse, a brand that watched contribution and cash closely and still got blindsided in a way ROAS or aMER would have flagged first, that is the case I want to hear. Where is the blind spot? Evidence in the thread below, one piece at a time.

  @ExoGhost I've been playing since COD 4. MW19 is only seen as a top 5 COD if you main either Search and Destroy or Ground War. The rest of the game was ****, and TTK while being its own problem wasn't at the top for issues. Plus the older games had worse net code so their TTK felt slower

  @RinoTheBouncer If the game is grounded in reality like games based on War (ex being cod or battlefield) The problems are the unnecessary collaborations with celebrities, popular colorful games and cartoon characters REALLY Ruins the seriousness of marine soldiers
