        acfou swodinsky kfranasz Hearst Publisher arbitrage is just a fact of life in the current ecosystem. IMO it's fine if they're doing the work of verifying the humanity of the traffic. But most don't. Last time I did that work, the percent of IVT incoming was very high, but also fully detectable by GAM.
