If we had risen on the back of it we would have had the paranoid Chihuahua appearing again.
They are known to yap away at anything - and everything!

Is the adtech industry experiencing consolidation or growth?
It seems like many smaller companies pop up all the time.
As international digital markets grow, then more companies appear seeking to expand in the US, the largest digital market in the world; landing deals in the US can change a company’s future.
The bigger companies may 'acquire' elements split off from another, who acquired them from yet another, which then has a part-share and cash involvement which keeps them invested and keen for the sale to succeed, at least for a period.
The latest acquiring company may then have bolstered its own offering and also have a wider geographic footprint.
Either way it's certainly evolving.

New tools keep proliferating:
1. Programmatic
2. Header Bidding
3. Private market place proliferation (PMP).
4. Verification and media measurement
5. Brand/Native Studio , Agency and In-house.
6. Demand Path Optimisation (DPO)
7. Supply Path Optimisation (SPO)

There are thousands of companies and layers to the industry.

Magnite today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire SpotX from RTL Group for $1.17 billion in cash and stock.
Not sure what that means for the industry as a whole.

I agree Winey,

I often wake up laughing - I really do.

Steinbeck's 'The Grapes of Wrath' was originally translated into Japanese as 'The Angry Raisins'.

Winey,
some posts were removed last night but your one about going to bed when he went into overdrive made me laugh a lot!

One thing is for certain now, take note stt1, this is very clear:
An important message:
The younger generation want streaming TV.
You need to move on and look ahead.
As for what we choose to invest and when, that is not your domain.

I think people realise that stt1 has lost a lot of money here in the past and feels very upset.
He has a history of losing money.
He will continue to do so.
We are not to blame.
He is his own worst enemy.

Maybe it is a computer, not a person.

Fluttering Upwards!

'Leveling up' is more about balancing government investment across the country, so that it no longer has an inherent bias towards southern projects.

I see the sp is fluctuating upwards as we go.

baldy,

It is all to easy to criticise the current government, the super-rich the numbers who have died.
But a list of the current government’s failings is not a reason to support Labour.
Labour do not know how to manage money and always make a point that they want to give money from the rich to the poor.
This unrealistic and they know it very well.
The fact remains that there will always be poor people, no matter what you do to support them.

Depends how quickly you can learn from your mistakes.
An individual's conscious feedback should allow quick recovery.
A group response is more sluggish.
Witness the EU and Covid vaccination efforts.

The markets certainly have a power of their own.
You could argue that house prices in the U.K. are in a bubble.

People often buy a house on gut-feeling.
When you know all the details does it put you off?
The solicitors try their best to rake up everything and anything.

We didn't evolve to be 100% rational. We evolved to take many thinking shortcuts, because they are usually good enough for survival and reproductive purposes and the alternatives (gathering evidence, logical reasoning, etc.) are costly.

stt1 has not a clue - just tries to chew the sheets!

rusty,

I fail to understand why you question posters who oppose 'him'.

People are spending more online than ever before.
The trend will continue.

An intelligent rat deliberately and relentlessly chewing the sheets is what we have here.
That is no ordinary rat!

We're all quite thick apparently.
Eating slices of pie that keep growing.
