    Well, half of it is as a catch-all term for bullshit business that generates money without actually adding value to society.

    It makes sense if you’re deliberately using it as mystical buzzword that you’re not supposed to understand.

    The kind of vague money making you get from Salesforce and that kind of business The other half is that it’s businesses selling eyes and clicks to other businesses

    You straight up just don’t know what Business to Business Software as a Service actually is. Salesforce itself is B2B SaaS. Its when you actually deliver a service to another company in the form of access to your website. This includes giants like Google Suite, AWS, GitHub. But the classic example is when you have a “pricing” that will usually have 3-4 tiers:

    • Free
    • Personal
    • Team
    • Enterprise

    See an example here. There’s such a myriad of these with made up names, and look alike websites that they all blur together but they are by definition not ad based because they make money by having another business pay them for their service. Hence B2B.

    Selling and buying ad space would be offered through a market that’s B2B SaaS. However a place that where the ads are is consumer facing and not B2B by definition. Social Media and SEO slop are consumer facing and make money via ads.
