#Data Marketing

[rjzimmerman]

Excerpt from this Chicago Tribune story:

You may have no clue what a data center does.

But a boom in these high-tech operations in the Chicago area and around the country—as the United States races to be a world leader in artificial intelligence—will hit home in the form of higher electricity bills next year.

For customers of ComEd, the main electricity utility in the Chicago area, the average increase is expected to be $10.50 a month for each residential customer by the middle of next year. That’s on top of the typical bill in the area, which is about $100 a month.

The price of electricity is going up due to energy-hungry data centers that are expected to dramatically increase demand for power. ComEd and other utilities pay upfront to make sure an electric grid that extends from Chicago to the East Coast has plenty of power over time and won’t see blackouts because of these new electricity hogs.

A typical consumer probably doesn’t have a sense of how these high-tech operations affect electricity demand. It’s unlikely many have heard of PJM Interconnection, a government-regulated nonprofit that operates the grid and oversaw the process that led to the upcoming bill hike.

But those same customers notice when their bills start to rise. And so do politicians.

Some, including Gov. JB Pritzker, blame PJM for the upcoming spike in electric bills to which the grid operator said it’s simply making sure the lights stay on even as power usage soars. A large data center uses enough electricity to power entire neighborhoods or small cities.

A data center is a building or complex that houses equipment used for applications such as cloud computing and AI, among others. Leading data center companies include subsidiaries of Amazon, Meta and Microsoft.

McKinsey and Co., the consulting firm, said data centers are responsible for 3 to 4 percent of the country’s electricity demand today, and this will grow to 11 to 12 percent by 2030.

Chicago is the third largest data center market in the country, just behind Dallas-Fort Worth, and way behind the leader, Northern Virginia, according to the real estate firm CBRE.

How a Comprehensive B2B Database Can Transform Your Business

In today's competitive business landscape, having access to a robust B2B database is no longer just an advantage—it's a necessity. Whether you're a marketer looking to expand your reach or a sales professional aiming to close more deals, the right B2B database can be the key to unlocking new opportunities and driving sustained growth.

What is a B2B Database?

A B2B database is a collection of information about businesses, including company details, contact information for key decision-makers, industry classifications, and more. This data is critical for companies that rely on targeted marketing and sales strategies to reach other businesses. With accurate and up-to-date information, a B2B database enables you to identify potential clients, understand their needs, and engage them with relevant messaging.

Why Your Business Needs a B2B Database

Targeted Marketing Campaigns: One of the primary benefits of a B2B database is the ability to segment your audience. By categorizing businesses based on factors such as industry, company size, or location, you can tailor your marketing campaigns to address the specific needs of each segment. This targeted approach not only improves engagement rates but also increases the likelihood of converting prospects into customers.

Efficient Sales Processes: A well-maintained B2B database provides your sales team with the information they need to prioritize leads and focus their efforts on high-value prospects. By having access to detailed company profiles and contact information, your sales team can engage with the right people at the right time, leading to more efficient and effective sales processes.

Data-Driven Decision Making: In the era of big data, making informed decisions is crucial. A B2B database offers valuable insights into market trends, customer behavior, and competitive dynamics. With this information at your fingertips, you can develop strategies that are grounded in data, minimizing risks and maximizing opportunities for growth.

Enhanced Customer Relationships: Building and maintaining strong relationships with customers is essential for long-term success. A B2B database helps you track interactions with clients, monitor their purchasing behavior, and anticipate their needs. This enables you to provide personalized service and build lasting relationships that drive repeat business.

How to Choose the Right B2B Database

Not all B2B databases are created equal. When choosing a B2B database provider, it's important to consider the following factors:

Data Accuracy: Ensure that the database is regularly updated and verified to maintain the accuracy of the information.

Coverage: Look for a database that covers a wide range of industries and regions, giving you access to a broad spectrum of potential clients.

Customization: A good B2B database should allow you to customize data fields and segments to suit your specific business needs.

Ease of Integration: The database should easily integrate with your existing CRM systems, enabling seamless data flow across your organization.

Conclusion

In conclusion, a comprehensive B2B database is an invaluable asset for any business looking to succeed in the B2B space. It empowers your marketing and sales teams to operate more efficiently, make informed decisions, and build stronger relationships with clients. By investing in a high-quality B2B database, you're not just acquiring data—you're gaining the insights needed to drive your business forward.

The most absurd thing about all this bullshit is that all my data is going towards selling me things I don't want or I can't buy. Tech companies have built the world's most sophisticated and complex surveillance system, effectively trapping billions of people into a panopticon and consuming wasteful amounts of resources, technology and human work and talent, all just to sell ads. It's incredibly absurd.

Webtoons Is Making Moves - So Should You.

We all saw it coming ages ago and now it's finally here. There's no more beating around the bush or doubting if anyone is "reading into it too much", Webtoons' use of AI in its more recent webtoons is not an accident, not an oversight, but by design, it always has been. And I guaran-fucking-tee you that the work that already exists on the platform won't be safe from Webtoons' upcoming AI integration through scraping and data mining. Sure, they can say they're not gonna replace human creators, but that doesn't change the fact that AI tools, in their current form, can't feasibly exist without stealing from pre-existing content.

Plus, as someone who's tested their AI coloring tools specifically... they're a long, LONG way away from actually being useful. Like, good luck using them for any comic style that isn't Korean manwha featuring predominantly white characters with small heads and comically long legs. And if they do manage to get their AI tools to incorporate more art styles and wider ranges of character identities... again, what do you think it's been trained on?

Also, as an added bit that I found very funny:

Um, I'm sorry, what fucking year is it? Because platforms like WT and Tapas have both been saying this for years but we're obviously seeing them backpedal on that now with the implementation of in-house publishing programs like Unscrolled which have reinvented the wheel of taking digital webtoons and going gasp physical! It's almost like the platform has learned that there's no sustainable profit to be had in digital comics alone without the help of supplementary streams of income and is now trying to act like they've invented physical book publishing!

"The future of comic publishing, including manga, will be digital"??? My brother in christ, Shonen Jump has been exclusively digital since 2012! What rock have the WT's staff been living under that they're trying to sell digital comics as the "future" to North Americans as if we haven't already been living in that future for over ten years now?? We've had an entire generation of children raised on that same digital media since then! This isn't the selling point you think it is LMAO If anything, the digital media market here in NA is dying thanks to the enshittification of digital content platorms like Netflix, Disney+, and mainstream social media platforms! That "future" is not only already both the past and present, but is swiftly on its way out! Pack it up and go home, you missed the bus!

Literally so much of WT's IPO pitch is just a deadass grift full of corporate buzzwords and empty promises. They're trying so hard to convince people that their business model is infinitely profitable... but if it were, why do they need the public's money? And where are all those profits for the creators who are being exploited day after day to fill their platform with content? Why are so many creators still struggling to pay their bills if the company has this much potential for profit?

Ultimately even their promised AI tools don't ensure profit, they ensure cutting expenses. The extra money they hope to make isn't gonna come from their content generating income, it's gonna come from normal people forking over their money in the hopes that it'll be turned around, and from Webtoons cheapening the medium even further until it's nothing but conveyer belt gruel. Sure, "making more than you spend" is the base definition of "profit", but can we really call it that when it's through the means of gutting features, retiring support programs, letting go editing staff, and limiting resources for their own hired freelancers who are the only reason they even have content to begin with? That's not sustainable profit or growth, that's fighting the tide which can and will carry them away at any moment.

I'm low key calling it now, a year or two from today we're gonna be seeing massive lawsuits and calls to action from the people who invested their money into WT and subsequently lost it into the black hole that is WT's "business model". This is a company that's been operating in the red for years, what about becoming an IPO is gonna make them "profitable"? Let alone profitable enough to pay back their investors in the spades they're expecting? The platform and its app are already shit and they're about to become even worse, we are literally watching this company circle the drain in the modern day's ever-ongoing race to the bottom, enshittification in motion, but they're trying to convince us all the same that they're "innovating".

Webtoons doesn't want to invest in its creators. We as creators need to stop investing in them.

I am so unbelievably pissed off. FUCK HOAs

Oh, my trash/recycling bin can't be visible except on pickup day? Ok whatever fine I hate you but I can deal with this

Weekly inspections?????? FU FU FU FU FU

SECOND NOTICE ALSO WE'RE CHARGING YOU MONEY TO SEND YOU CERTIFIED MAIL OF THIS TOTALLY LEGIT TOTALLY SECOND NOTICE OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY A VIOLATION cue me: checks notes. Hmm. My recycling bin was. on the curb. on recycling pickup day. You know. The day it has to be out. The day it is motherfucking ALLOWED TO BE FUCKING OUT AND VISIBLE.

so. 1) not a violation

I have sent them the trash AND recycling pickup schedules, which are DIFFERENT, btw

I have disputed the fact of the violation

I have disputed the linking of this "violation" to a previous violation MONTHS AGO--their "first notice" in this case was a "Courtesy Notice" LITERALLY 5 MONTHS AGO and they've done so many inspections since then and my bin CLEARLY WASN'T OUT IN THOSE INTERVENING MONTHS so WTMFH

So I am posting like a crazy person here instead of sending the absolutely deranged email I almost sent (I did send a slightly less deranged version with the disputes, and requesting a hearing)

OMG. It has been. Less than one hour since I learned this fun fun news. My bin was out YESTERDAY, y'all. YESTERDAY. I am going to blow a gasket

People are kinda unhinged about Checo's Red Bull contract renewal...

Like yes, I was also surprised that Checo got signed for 2 years (though if it's 1+1 that some ppl are saying it is, it is more understandable) but come on, taking so much time just to comment and spam hate? Ridiculous and so immature.

And who should've replaced him? There are only so many available F1 drivers. So many haters are from the Versainz-lineup side (I too would've loved Versainz lol just for the vibes), but come on, realistically, Carlos was never going to work (just look at the Torro Rosso days...) and anyway it was news weeks ago that Carlos/Red Bull had no interest in signing a contract. I can see why some may say Yuki should be there but I can also understand why Red Bull may not want to promote him yet (no I will not elaborate because *gunshots*). And tbh, whichever driver they put in that seat, will still be crushed by Max. In fact, I think one of Checo's strong points is that he's managed to last fairly well against Max mentally- until last year where he got in over his head with the early talks of him possibly becoming wdc. Besides, even if you think another driver should have gotten that seat, it does not justify all the hate.

Also, some are just straight up delusional like somehow spinning it to hate on Max? E.g. those who think Max masterminded the whole contract (crazy take tbh) or got angry at Max for saying smt along the lines of how he's happy for Checo. Like what do you want him to say? "Omfg I hate having Sergio Perez as my teammate I wish [insert name of rando driver said angry person wanted to replace Checo] was my teammate instead!!" Be so fr guys.

the tumblr press page says 48% of users are Gen Z, so aged 12-27. and this website says 40% Gen Z and 30% Millennial although idk how trustworthy that is. either way those are unfortunately useless categories for purposes of figuring out who is rent-paying age versus who just started highschool
