Is the Display Ad world too complex? (AKA, DSP, SSP, What?!)
Short answer: Yes, it is. But today, we’ll try to approach understanding why, and what consequences all this complexity brings. A few days ago, a friend of mine and I realized we had another friend in common that we never knew of, so I said: “The world really is a village”, and she gave me an answer I’d never heard nor thought of: “And really very similar to a maze”. This crazy deep and also very simple analysis meant one thing that could easily apply to the Display Ad world too: As small as it is, it can get impossibly complex.
