I've warned about Industry Challenges for ages...since Methbot fraud over 2 yrs ago and P&G comments for a more transparent ad tech ecosystem...
Following Methbot over 2 yrs ago and P&G demands for transparency, there have been various changes...
2017 & 2018 was about the NEED for those and as previous posted, 2018 onwards is/was about the consequences of those industry challenges...
See my posting history...
More recently, the consequences seem to be filtering through... and many companies affected:
Criteo with Apple's ITP & the new Google's version of ITP.

Google with their exec claiming that affect of Apple's ITP has been severe..
https://adexchanger.com/industry-events/fallout-from-apple-itp-is-severe-and-seven-other-takeaways-from-google-exec-sean-downey-at-industry-preview/
TAP claiming 'Industry Headwinds' have affected them..
and many more...
and over the weekend..
Sizmek filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy..

Yes! stt1 it's a dynamic ecosystem - if you can't stand the heat then keep out of the kitchen.
Tricky,
"it's a dynamic ecosystem - if you can't stand the heat then keep out of the kitchen."
It seems like the rthm BoD couldn't stand the heat and decided they wanted out...
How many rthm BoD are joining the new 'hot', dynamic TAP?
;-)
The rthm BoD were not calling the shots were they?
curlykev , Yes you are right stt1 is a skint scurrilous individual who is being pimped by his bosses for a few pennies per day.
I have asked admin on many occasions why this scurrilous individual is allowed to post this defamatory and libellous sh@t on a daily basis and guess what no reply and no action against the individual.
What does that tell you about admin.
all done and dusted. RIP RTHM.
RTHM update to march 31 below expectations.
Sorry - is trading suspended or they trading again? I'm still 50% down on these and i was hoping to at least get a little back !
abstrade,
They are trading as TAP now..
well, there you go, as expected then...
History of bullish comments followed by disappointing results...
Rthm run a full stack..
"RhythmOne's trading in the year to March was below market expectations Taptica said today, though it still believes the acquisition was in its best interests."
https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/217736/taptica-ownership-of-rhythm-one-makes-low-key-start-217736.html
Tap performed due diligence on R1, valuing the company in a conservative way, and still saw value in the deal.
It's a result for R1 as their management has always failed to deliver the goods, despite buying various outfits.
Little wonder Ofer Druker, CEO, did not want any of the old R1 'board' hanging around then.
It's not as if R1 were a lone failure in the world of ad-tech, many have sunk below the waves in less favourable circumstances. We are now tied into a bigger outfit and should certainly have a better chance of survival/sp growth.
Hallelujah
"It's a result for R1 as their management has always failed to deliver the goods, despite buying various outfits.
Little wonder Ofer Druker, CEO, did not want any of the old R1 'board' hanging around then."
The previous rthm management pre-Yume, always failed to deliver the goods...
Singer and co moved from Yume to rthm just over a year ago and then within MONTHS wanted out of rthm...
Sounds more like rthm BoD didn't want anything to do with rthm and so got shot of it in a hurry...2 CFOs resigning within 5 months suggests rthm have some serious issues....
Do you think rthm management found any skeletons and thought (as in your post from yesterday)...
"if you can't stand the heat then keep out of the kitchen"
No stt1, I think the R1 BoD knew they had no place on the TAP BoD and also realised that their significant holdings in the new R1/TAP would become more valuable.
I believe Singer accepted a huge amount of R1 shares as a golden hello when he first arrived at R1and no doubt he will get to keep them and walk away quite contented.
I'm over to the TAP board now as this one is just about done..
There's been a massive drop in the fy19 rthm forecast... $470m to $250m...
(TAP fy2019 is Dec 2019, rthm is March 2019)
Shows that there are significant issues at rthm and the model will be integrating with TAP...
No wonder certain posters were desperate for others to ignore me and those red flags...
Read the thread/posts...
Oh! So you think you are the voice of reason then stt1?
