Meta's $META stock declined by 15% after the company's earnings release yesterday. Meta delivered meaningful beats across top and bottom lines, but its Q2 guidance was weak, and it communicated a larger-than-expected increase in capital expenditures for the year. Notably,…

Everything is an ad network, but consumer attention is finite. How does the commercial calculus of integrating advertising into an existing consumer platform change as the retail media space becomes more saturated? Retail media networks proliferated in the Everything is an ad…
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) yesterday adopted an opinion on the valid use of the “Pay or Okay” model by, what it calls, “large online platforms.” The EDPB determines in its opinion that large online platforms, “in most cases,” will not comply with the GDPR in…
The mobile gaming market, overall, is beleaguered in the post-ATT marketing environment, having contracted in both 2022 and 2023. Yet it also produced MONOPOLY GO! in 2023, which likely generated the most absolute first-year profit of any mobile game in history. The seeming…
Launching a social media app through an invite scheme with the intention of going viral is a misguided strategy that might ultimately undermine the product's long-term prospects. An app launch should focus on understanding users' needs and engagement patterns and accommodating…
In this week’s episode of the @MobileDevMemo podcast, I speak with @pbannist, the CSO of Raptive, about the current state of third-party cookie deprecation on Chrome and Google’s Privacy Sandbox. mobiledevmemo.com/podcast-cookie…
Apple's war on device fingerprinting has been pursued through piecemeal restrictions, such as the privacy features it introduced at last year's WWDC. The mobile advertising ecosystem has retreated to near-exclusive use of the IP address for fingerprinting, which is pervasive.…
It's tempting to view a product's user base as a monolith. A user base can be segmented into any number of distinct groups, and a single metric can be helpful for quickly gleaning the direction of a product's growth (up or down?). But viewing DAU through the lens of cohort age…
The big economy of small advertisers Facebook attempted to derail Apple’s plan to deprecate the IDFA by arguing that ATT would excessively and unduly punish small businesses that are reliant on personalization. Obviously, it was unsuccessful. But while Facebook was an…

In this week's episode of the Mobile Dev Memo podcast, I speak with @rishabhmjain, the CEO of FERMÀT, about the evolution of eCommerce advertising, the future of the open web, and the challenges posed to advertisers by Everything is an Ad Network.
The European Commission's hostility towards the Pay or Okay model is misguided. The DMA does not mandate that gatekeepers make every possible business model available to monetize their products, & Pay or Okay has already survived scrutiny under the GDPR. mobiledevmemo.com/pay-or-okay-an…
One ironic aspect of the Everything is an Ad Network phenomenon is that the catalyst for it — diminished, attenuated user-level conversion signals — should motivate advertisers to utilize fewer channels, not more. Operating across the multitude of new advertising channels that…
These charts are related: the streaming wars have created intense competition for share of consumer wallet, resulting in increased across-the-board churn that has catalyzed a content land grab, particularly with live sports streaming licensing. This has given rise to the…
The specific examples provided in the Justice Department’s lawsuit are all fairly trivial, and the remedies proposed wouldn’t substantially diminish Apple’s market position. While some iPhone owners would surely enjoy using third-party wallets or streaming games, those…
Advertising automation provides utility by allowing for exhaustive experimentation and by implementing campaign changes quickly, based on immediate analysis and interpretation of results. The largest, scaled ad platforms have built flexible and open-ended content engagement…
Apple published documentation for its Privacy Manifests feature last week. In it, Apple clarifies how the Tracking Domains list could block network traffic from reaching ad tech vendors, even if their SDKs don't require standalone Privacy Manifest files. mobiledevmemo.com/privacy-manife…
