Is DD ads revenue really $3billion per year?

Looking to move from Amazon Ads to DD/Instacart/Uber. Saw that DD did $3B in "Ads and Promotion" revenues. This is huge. But is this really Ads revenue or something else? #doordash #instacart

I thought DD meant Doordarshan 😌

No. It’s fake news

Yes. Ads in DoorDash goes very strong.

Seems suspicious. If they make $3B in ads then why is their profit not higher? How big is the ads team (eng/product)?

It's not $3B revenue. It's $3b worth of goods purchased via ads. Revenue would be a small fraction of that

We don’t do $3B in ads revenue

Amazon commonguy OP Sep 3, 2023

Hmmm. Then what is the $3b number?

What on Earth does "$3 billion in sales generated for merchants through ads and promotions" actually mean? Any idea?

It means $3 billion in sales was generated by DD for merchants through their ads and promotions.
