@aripap Doesn’t TV manufactures already do this (ACR) for incremental campaign execution? Also, I thought Alphonso and Samba were founded on this use case. I agree it’s not a great experience for consumer

Cox is listening to their customers' phones to target ads to them. Really, there's a website and everything. Not good. Do not do this.

@contentphilia Also @naval @NavalismHQ being calm when executing is a superpower youtu.be/rlYEyMw87RE

@alextcone @bd2k @kfranasz @burk504 Even with advertiser paying for service this should have lead to a publisher conversation with effective verification product.

@bd2k @kfranasz Incentives methinks. If the buy-side was the one paying/“dropping” the verification code I don’t think any of those verification vendors see any value in alerting @burk504’s team to the issue. More often than not those verification vendors aren’t working direct with pubs.

Key question from @kfranasz on the Gannett tag issue — why didn’t 3rd party vendors spot/flag this?

@slayser8 What does it say about all those IVT detection vendors? Someone should have picked up this bug. Oh yes they were all busy pitching their CTV offerings to the industry

I just want to throw out that the Gannett issue is HIGHLY LIKELY an error and nothing nefarious on the part of the publisher. So please remember this when talking about it (and check your sites)

@adamheimlich @aripap Are you sure you can attribute a random 8% hike before this news to the news?

@aripap Magnite stock up was up 8% before it was even official

@PavelASamsonov @Roku is hiring for multiple product roles. DM me

Anyone hiring product roles? I know a great PM who's looking for a new opportunity at an org that embraces innovation.

@laserlikemike Real humility is unaware of itself.

@oliviamdh Yes, I did.

Question: if you were not raised Jewish (in any way shape or form), did you see Fiddler on the Roof at any point in your life? School productions count. I’m trying to see something here.

And sometimes you come across a scene that gives you hope that humanity & the planet will be in harmony. Incredible India.

Ever seen year after year of accelerating revenue growth? @Roku 🤯 2016: 25% 2017: 29% 2018: 45% 2019: 52% 2020: 58%

@WholeFoods @WomenWhoServe I would share same feedback as @WomenWhoServe. Sad to see 365 Almond yogurt spots filled by other non-diary yogurts in the store. Hopefully @WholeFoods will bring it back

@WomenWhoServe Thanks for getting back to us, Diane. Unfortunately it looks like our 365 Almondmilk Yogurt is currently not in production. We've gone ahead and shared your experience with our team. We hope to welcome you back to Mandeville again soon.

@WholeFoods Are you discontinuing your almond milk yogurt?😢 It has disappeared from my store. I know the small containers have already been discontinued. It is the only non-dairy yogurt I've ever eaten that tastes like yogurt, plus it has some protein.

@robleathern Did you do another test with Monday start date to confirm the bias? 😉

Final result, unsurprisingly - Friday (bias note: I started the survey on a Friday!)

@sandrocatanzaro @Myles_Younger Yes it worked well this morning. You should share your set up here

@Myles_Younger I can mount my camera looking down on my desk, so I pick a piece of paper and I draw. But nobody else can draw on top, and ask about “this part” which is exactly the point of the whiteboard. Plus can’t make a list of pros and cons on the fly Plus … Oh I miss it so much!

Is anyone else bumping up against the fact that you can't just whiteboard shit out in a conference room any more? Like 5 mins in person with a damn whiteboard is worth 8 hours of f'ing Zoom calls.

@aripap every dog has its day!

The transition from “everyone I know is getting out of ad tech” to “everyone I know is getting rich from ad tech” has been quite something.

@mchowla Is your Santa or Secret Admirer on Twitter?

@johncutlefish I prefer option B. Three reasons: 1. individual ownership 2. Nothing is lost in translation 3. No redundant meetings. I am a product guy.

@mchowla They could have done better with their communication before things started to blow up.

@sama Goliath

must change name imo

fuck robinhood

@pbannist Maximum retention I guess!

The most amazing contextual advertising ever!

@aripap cola fashion recycle it is

Went to the bodega and they had cola-flavored seltzer, and now I'm confused.
