Episode Synopsis

One of the casualties of iOS 14 and the post-IDFA world will be the concept of LTV as it exists in the current paradigm. In today's mini-episode, we argue that even though the LTV has had a veneer of precision, there was still quite a bit of subjectivity involved in decision making driven by LTVs.LTV has been a made up number - in many ways; and its loss will not be the end of the world.Key Highlights:🙅‍♂️ There is no such thing as ‘user lifetime’.📈 LTV is often projected and estimated.🤼 Different teams calculate LTV differently.🤔 The traditional LTV modeling paradigm also assumes that the last-click paradigm is accurate, which may not be strictly true.🤝 The LTV model that prevails is often a function of corporate politics.Check out the show notes here: https://mobileuseracquisitionshow.com/episode/the-ltv-metric-will-die-with-the-advent-of-ios-14-but-it-was-always-an-imperfect-metric-to-begin-with/**Get more mobile user acquisition goodies here:http://RocketShipHQ.comhttp://RocketShipHQ.com/blog**Check out our podcast featuring inside stories of how technology evolves and grows:http://HowThingsGrow.co
