?The LTV metric will die with the advent of iOS 14 - but it was always an imperfect metric to begin with. ? - a podcast by Shamanth Rao
from 2020-08-12T08:00
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.
