Ad execs sound off on Amazon’s DSP dilemma. This has always been the problem with Amazon. It's a leadership culture issue. Instead of building a product for the market, they try and make the market fit within Amazon. This has resulted in the same challenges year after year.

Love this @adexchanger Here’s a thought, DSPs create a carbon tax on publishers that send more 5 bid requests for the same opportunity. That carbon tax is deducted from the CPM or charged as a fee to continue using the platform. This will reduce bad behavior and wasted energy

What if we replaced frequency caps with carbon caps? 🧢 Advertisers are allocated a carbon limit for advertising and if paths, audiences, identifiers underperform, advertisers can reallocate existing carbon credits until they are exhausted. Once they are exhausted, that’s it.
