100k a day is not even worth looking at for them.
100k a day for operating in a country of 5 million people. The question isn't "how much does this affect their global earnings?", it's "is it worth paying 100k a day to run personalized ads in a country with a population of Minnesota?"
which is presumably according to plan for norway, they get an easy source of extra income.
Maybe but 100k a day is not noteworthy for a country like Norway either.
It's not, but 36.5 mill a year, if spent on one or two projects that aren't otherwise receiving much funding, can still make a significant change in something.
