The issue is agent v. merchant. Historically Expedia uses the merchant model (hood inventory, company as seller), and Booking used to prefer the agent model (no inventory, venue as seller). The former allows some advantage to what the compa

You won’t pay enough for it to make sense to support. That’s the harsh reality. Every single ‘altruistic’ browser has ended up on the dole of adtech because consumers will not pay even $0.01/pageview and publishers believe they’re wort
