Definitely true. Hopefully the folks who have the skillset to build a large OSS project, and build a network of fake traffic, would find other ways to spend their time with a higher return on investment than a 30% increment of their revenue.
But it will certainly happen, and hopefully we can continue to minimize it. We've generally seen fraud that looks like a site with no real traffic, and trying to generate 1000% returns, which is a much easier pattern to catch.
If you have any suggestions for ways we might improve our fraud tracking, definitely happy to hear them at eric@ our domain.
- flitzofolov 4y agoThere are products designed to solve this problem: https://www.humansecurity.com/products/ad-tech-teams https://www.humansecurity.com/products/ad-tech-teams Disclosure - I used to work for WhiteOps (now known as Human Security apparently).
- jefftk 4y agoThere are definitely products for this problem; it's a huge business. But they're not products that are compatible with EthicalAds' privacy-first JS-optional model.
