Fun (unrelated) fact:
My favorite product that I got to build there was “Cartoons at Random”. You’ll never guess what it did/was!
I miss it terribly, just swiping images off a stack to reveal a new random cartoon underneath.
The developer (Justin?) did an amazing interaction on iOS app (seamless, no jank) and web version was decent too.
They broke it when they migrated from Wordpress to their own Condé Nast CMS

Such delight. Sigh.

But it was a good play for a decent native ad experience (example: we ran a decently funny set of Bill Murray cartoons - and that was good) oddly enough and assumed that would ensure its survival.
