Glad to hear this, some of your rules were a bit more strict than needed IMO so this move is much appreciated

Its nice to see some ad-network finally care about those who "feed" them and not just the freeloaders who burn their bandwidth I understand that user experience has to remain at an acceptable level, but some networks take it beyond the needed level and shoot themselves in the feet in terms of $$$ - like for example the latest changes adopted by trafficfactory.

Technically, it's not really the network's choice when it comes to banner rules. You mention user experience, this is a concern of the Tube sites (and rightfully so)!
We are kind of stuck in the middle, trying to make everyone happy (publishers and advertisers).
It's all a matter of finding the sweet spot where advertisers can work their magic and publishers preserve the user experience of viewers.

Since you are not new to this forum, you must know that we do our best to get feedback from our customers, answer their questions and act on suggestions they make.
That's why we released a completely new interface at the beginning of the year and that we negotiated these new rules with our publishers (it was a redundant request from our advertisers to be fair).

Yup, I know you as a traffic network dont directly decide about the rules site owners want to enforce, sometimes I simply take the "traffic selling side" as one entity, sorry for that Im also aware of the changes you have done lately, I personally sent your staff a rather long email with suggested changes actually

Im simply not a big fan of all these "user experience arguments" because the obsessions with it took the adult business to where its today. Where there was 10 thousand + of paid sites and thousands of affiliates promoting them, dozens of production studios and millions of $$$ being moved back and forth, there is now a biz dominated by a handfull of huge sites giving away the product for free, fighting for the 1st prize in user experience, giving the surfers HD movies for free and god forbid to annoy them with a bit misleading banner

I find it quite amusing when Mindgeek (or whatever they are called now) own the whole setup from top to bottom, so these arguments about networks, advertisers and publishers are quite funny.

When they own the big production companies like Brazzers, advertised on their own tube sites via their own traffic network then I'm pretty sure the only objective is revenue and profits rather than worrying about the user experience. When you pretty much have a monopoly in the tube arena then you can more or less do what you want.

Its actually not as easy, they have different entities to take care of different parts of the business. While it might all be owned by the same people in the end, its different people running different parts. The most amusing part for me was, that the production part (bazzers, reality kings ...) actually sends DMCA requests to their tube site operations

I understand where you get this impression from.
It would of course seem logical that being part of the same "group" we would have more weight as to what we allow or do not allow (and we kind of do, this is why we could deal these new rules).
However, we still are separate brands, with separate teams and separate goals.
Because having more lenient rules will help us and our customers doesn't mean we have the means to impose this to tube sites.
Each of them have a set of goals (among which a number of visits and customer retention) and they are keen on doing their best to achieve those goals.

For example, when Chrysler is having a bad year, they can't say "Screw Dodge, buy Chrysler cars instead".

EDIT:

I should have read through the entire thread before answering, it's pretty much what he said

Talking about user feedback I'll create a thread with a link to a short survey in this section of the forum. Feel free to put some of these suggestions there!
