So this is some really exciting news about a project I've been working on at the washingtonpost that went live earlier this year: active script-level interventions in web ads. Basically, we're going in, checking for bad performing code and fixing it before it can impact users. WapoEngineering/1133359994005598209Permalink On twitter.com

Details are at the link, but this is a project that comes out of experimentation I've been working on for years. When ads have a negative, but non-malicious, impact on the user experience, publishers often feel helpless to fix what's coming through the ad frame. But not us.Permalink On twitter.com

I note this in the post: over one-third of the ads that reach our users in the iOS app were using code that caused excessive CPU use! That's a lot of ads! Ads that had a significant impact on the user experience. Ads that now continue to work fine, & without the negative impactOn twitter.com

Active, real-time, intervention in ad code execution is a huge deal, and to do so and see it have no negative impact on the ads themselves opens up a whole new realm of possibilities as to what we can do with technology to make the ad experience better, everywhere!Permalink On twitter.com

I'm very excited about how our protocol here opens up new possibilities on a very fundamental level for how we work with ad code at the point it impacts users! To see this rolled out and working realizes the next step towards a very different way for us to work with ad tech.Permalink On twitter.com
