What they’re saying

“Think of New York City as a giant bucket and the boroughs as five smaller jars inside it. While most of the money lands in the jars, about $24 million landed in the bucket but missed the jars. We know that money was spent inside the city, but because of how we're attributing revenue to search volume, we couldn't pin some of it to a specific neighborhood, so it only shows up in the 'City' total.”

— Sam Pierce, CEO of OnlyGuider (nypost.com)

“'Free' is interesting because most people want something for nothing but creators entice people to spend via direct messages,”

— OnlyGuider spokesperson (nypost.com)
