Question to adtech folks, from the author of the linked thread.
Nuviad, the DSP that appears to be linked to the surveillance/spytech system Patternz, claims to analyze '700k ad opportunities every second' (https://twitter.com/WolfieChristl/status/1724805640974168341).
How could they do so? I mean, this company is far from a tier-1 DSP. Could they pretend to be a bidder and listen to such a high volume of bid requests without actually bidding/winning most of them? Is the number just exaggerated? Are there other ways of how they could get access to such a high volume of bid requests? In 2018, Nuviad acquired a viewability vendor (realvu.com). Could this perhaps be a major source?
