  • What’s with the giggling?

    I love the Digiday content. Depending on my circumstances, I am subscribed or not. But when I listen to the podcast, while the content is right up my street, I find the banter and giggling most annoying. The current episode on Meta Superintelligence, NYT Amazon deal was one I was keen to listen to but gave up after 10 mins.

  • Need some old magic back

    Have been a big fan of this podcast for a long time but finding the new hosts don't have the same insight and sparkle as Brian Morrissey. Needs a tune up to maintain its greatness.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can ad tech’s server-side shift save it from Apple and Google?
Q: Should Prebid hold the final decision-making position in the programmatic auction?
The speakers note that Prebid was created to support header bidding and restore some parity with Google, but question whether it is the right organization to become the auction's ultimate arbiter and take on greater responsibility.
Can ad tech’s server-side shift save it from Apple and Google?
Q: Is the server-side shift the best solution, and does it benefit everyone?
The speakers say long-tail ad tech firms could struggle or disappear, while large legacy publishers may be especially affected. They also raise concerns that server-side tracking reduces browser-level protections for users, and argue that the industry needs stronger safeguards and greater trust.
Are DSP fees holding back indie agencies?
Q: How much of a fee are the resellers charging?
One agency paid 17% in fees to The Trade Desk and an additional 12% to its reseller, for a combined 29%.
Are DSP fees holding back indie agencies?
Q: So how much does an agency need to be spending in order to get a direct seat with the trade desk and with Amazon DSP?
McCoy says agencies reported hearing a $100,000 monthly threshold for The Trade Desk, although the company does not disclose a fixed figure and says terms are agreed with each agency. Amazon states it has no minimum spend threshold, but some agencies say they were asked to meet one.
Why the creator economy is splitting in two
Q: Are we purely talking based on size of following?
No. Blume says creator selection also depends on audience fit and the creator's authentic connection with a community. A niche audience can be valuable even when a creator does not have a huge subscriber or view count.
