If you’re in ad tech, the answer is always more information and more competition. Never less — especially if you’re providing/creating less of either in the name of hoping you can convince some shmuck water isn’t wet. If everyone internalizes this the internet might survive.

Decoupling gam and adx is going to be so un-fun. I mean, it’s part of the tying, but if they’re not coupled then most people’s gam adserving fees go up like 50% don’t they?

A non ad-tech public service announcement, but do not catch Hand Foot and Mouth from your children. This is the most unpleasant thing I've probably (ever?) had to deal with.

Ads on the majority of the internet would be rendering a minimum of 300-500ms faster if Google didn’t force publishers to use GAM in order to get access to adx. Any publisher without direct sales would have adx bid into prebid, and the ads would render immediately upon client

My train is delayed and instead of giving us an actual eta they just keep pushing it back 2 minutes at a time. Should I try to get the platform to start chanting “Amtrak sucks!”?

I’m beginning to think that we want this deal id environment. Big ad tech firms continue to vote for it with their product roadmaps. By the time dsps and exchanges figure out new data structures the open internet might be dead. So long live deal ids i guess

Gym thought — the search driven internet is parasitic. Web crawling is actually crazy. “Let us download and analyze all of your shit in exchange for maybe traffic…maybe. Oh, and we’re going to use this data and this position to eventually kill you. You’re welcome.”

I’m at a point in social media where if people tag me I magically appear in 5 minutes like when people used to say Bloody Mary into the mirror except I think I’m faster than she was cuz I’m tryna hustle over here.

Relistening to the fat of the land and reflecting on how deeply engrained my my aspirational personal aesthetic the picture on the back of the album cover is. These people were fucking cool.

Very proud of the discussions we're facilitating on The Monopoly Report podcast. This one includes Erez 🇺🇸 & Gareth Hates AdTech as we debate the impact of little adtech's contemplated move away from UIDs while walled gardens maintain UIDs. Something about bringing knife to a gun fight

Shower thought — if your software won you business in 2015 because people “liked your workflow,” how much longer do you have in your market? 2 years? More? Less?
