Yeah, I don't have a lot of disagreement with your points either... I didn't intend to group all ads together, but rather speak broadly of the aggregate effect

Yeah, I don't have a lot of disagreement with your points either... I didn't intend to group all ads together, but rather speak broadly of the aggregate effect of advertisers. No question there are predatory ads. I would say though that publishers can and should exercise editorial control over ads & analytics in their apps... even if they are using 3rd parties. What tends to happen is that they choose NOT to in all but the most egregious cases (and even then...), because of the impact on their bottom line.
