Facebook is surely in a similar ad dollars crunch as Google. I can't imagine they're full speed.

Based on what we've heard from Google yesterday, and FB's Q1 results just now, it looks like the much heralded ad crunch is turning into not much more than a speed bump.
But we need to wait for Q2 results to know the full impact, right?
Yeah, but in Google's earnings call yesterday they said that the situation is stabilizing.
They are also seeing record traffic so they might be doing alright. We'll find out when they report earnings later today.
I mean record traffic means record server usage with record low ad spend from their customers.

However, that's just a short-term hit. FB and Google may very well increase their own spending so they can capture the huge amount of people who are now using their platforms.
