Publishers and advertisers lack transparency and control over ad tech monopolies

Publishers and mid-market advertisers are trapped in opaque ad tech ecosystems where Google controls both supply and demand sides, making it impossible to understand pricing, negotiate fairly, or switch platforms without losing reach. Current solutions fail because Google's integrated dominance means there's no viable alternative that offers comparable scale, forcing businesses to accept unfavorable terms despite knowing they're being exploited.
