Multi-round auctioning gives publishers the benefits of unified bidding, but with substantially more flexibility and control. Equally important, it realigns incentives and helps to move the industry away from a race to the bottom in ad quality.

I previously stated that 2026 would be the year of the publisher. I also believe it’s the year multi-platform setups become the norm across all of mobile. At @cloudx, we’re seeing it play out, but the terms used to describe the various setups are all over the place. So, here is a guide.

CloudX is a complete AI-powered monetization platform. It can be used as a standalone solution, or in concert with existing ad infrastructure. Multi-platform setups are standard across digital advertising. Mobile gaming is catching up. The terms used to describe these setups aren't always applied consistently.

Every tech wave eventually faces the same question: who pays for it? AI is hitting that moment now. Every major computing wave brings its own foundational models, infrastructure, apps, and monetization layers. We saw it with the web, mobile, cloud, and crypto—and now it’s unfolding in AI. As VC subsidies taper, the need for sustainable monetization will only intensify. Consumers won’t want to shoulder the full cost of AI subscriptions, creating an opening for new advertising models and revenue opportunities. At @EniacVC, we’ve been backing these “picks and shovels” for over two decades- including Admob, Tap, Vungle, Attentive, Evertune, Upscale- and we’re more bullish than ever in the AI era. So today, we are very proud to finally announce the launch of Eniac seeded CloudX founded by adtech legend and pioneer @jimpayne, with $30m raised to get after possibly the biggest monetization opportunity of all, in AI.

Round 3 with @jimpayne @kernjackhammer and a team of stars. Today, we announce @cloudx 🚀

Let's unpack what's actually happening here There are groups that hate me: - Marxists, because I'm pro Capitalism - The Pro-Palestine crowd, because I'm Pro-Israel - Leftists, because I'm Pro-Trump All of these groups want me cancelled because I'm a loud and effective voice

@shaunmmaguire Excellent post

Dear Internet, This is why I called Zohran Mamdani an Islamist And as a reminder, Islamism is a political ideology like Communism It's not a race or religion, and only a small fraction of Muslims are Islamists

@shaunmmaguire Need you on @joeroganhq

Mamdani comes from a culture that lies about everything It’s literally a virtue to lie if it advances his Islamist agenda The West will learn this lesson the hard way

@ericstromberg @terraincap Let's go baby 🔥

We're hosting a tech basketball tournament at Barclays Center this Fall.

I’ll say it and trigger the haters: Israelis are extraordinary. From pilots and soldiers to intel officers and the moms, dads, sisters, and brothers behind them — the courage, creativity, and grit are nothing short of breathtaking.

Nation of lions. Am Yisrael Chai.

WHY I DECLINED PIERS MORGAN The Piers Morgan show has repeatedly asked me on as a guest. Their first request was on November 1st 2023 - three weeks after the muslim terrorists Hamas raped and kidnapped hostages. I declined and have done ever since. Their most recent request was this April. The reason why I declined is because of something Piers tweeted in those early days of the war started by Hamas. Whilst we in Israel and the Jewish world were grieving - real grief - because people had been raped, people had been murdered, people had been kidnapped - women, children and babies - whilst we were doing this Piers Morgan was boasting. He was celebrating. He was celebrating how well his viewing figures were doing in his episodes talking about the massacre. “Six million” he bragged in one of his tweets. At the time I glibly I said to myself, “I’m glad someone’s doing well out of the rape and kidnaps.” But it truly was despicable and it really gets to the heart of the man. He has no real moral code or value system other than attention. He’s an archetypal, soulless media whore. His show is not designed to illuminate. It is to simply create a freak-show of vapid conflict that appeals to people who simply want a verbal fistfight. Pigs fighting in shit is Piers’ idea of journalism. In truth he knows what he does isn’t journalism. At best he might think what he does is entertainment. But it isn’t that either. It’s simply shitting excrement into public discourse. And the reasonable and legitimate outrage people feel when shit is pumped into conversations that have real life or death ramifications - Piers - in his misplaced pride - will mistake - or pretend to mistake - for a journalistic job well done. None the less, when his people first wrote to me i thought maybe i could guide Piers into doing some real journalism that would allow the public to weigh up primary evidence for themselves. I replied: “I can’t speak this week. Also I don’t think I should be a priority. I’m very much in favour of letting people directly affected be pushed to the front of the conversation. Yesterday I met a lady in Sderot who is probably the most perfect and energetic guest Piers could ever engage with - and she was directly in the middle of a battle that lasted 36 hours.” This opportunity to provide viewers with primary evidence and a firsthand account of the massacre didn’t happen. There was no serious interest in understanding this conflict. I imagine this applies to any other topic that might be covered. Persistent, his people tried to get me on the show again a few days later. I replied: “I know you’re keen to have me. I’m doing something unfashionable that maybe lots of people don’t do anymore: I’ve come here to actually see where the atrocities happened for myself and to speak to survivors so I’m not just some random internet guy mouthing off. Please let me know when you’ve spoken to ——-. I’ve told her you will be in touch. I don’t want to give her false hope because she’s someone who has been part of horrific things and is grieving for her community. Please don’t let me be involved in adding to her roller coaster” It didn’t happen. His people wrote to me again a few days later to try and get me on the show. I continued to believe that if the public were to be illuminated, then the testimony of an actual survivor was more important than my opinions. So I replied firmly: “What happened with ——- appearing on the show? She’s a clear coherent voice who experienced a massacre first hand. Her entire community are now refugees spread across a country. You should be interviewing her.” His team replied: “We couldn’t make it work, we’ve lots of guests and little time alas. Keen to have you on.” I replied:

They had kids get on stage to celebrate the corpses of the Bibas Family and Oded Lifshitz being paraded. What kind of culture is this?
