whereas discussing things HERE, i know you will can use the age old excuse "people FUD", just hit them with facts? they cant FUD effectively if they have no facts to back it up, pretty simple, no?
what do you have to HIDE/CENSOR?

It feels like there are a lot of projects now that focus decentralizing the advertising industry. Hopefully some of them have their niche and bring value to the customers.

That's very understandable, but MAD Network is transforming the advertising industry through partnerships with MadHive (www.madhive.com) and AdLedger (www.adledger.org) to achieve our collective goal of creating a universally adopted global advertising network based on trust and transparency. 

So MAD Network is more interested in revolutionizing the advertising industry rather than simply being a niche part of it. For context, MAD is a founding member of AdLedger, which includes names such as IBM, Brave, and every major advertising agency.

Well, I said a niche because usually projects aiming at transforming he whole world at once do fail.

I see your point. However, MAD Network is not alone in this endeavor. As you can see above MAD is joined by many leaders in the industry with this goal in mind. MAD itself is a small but important piece of the puzzle. And if I may say, change has to start somewhere.

It has to start somewhere, but it can't hurt to understand and define that "somwhere" as precisely as possible

Haha fair enough  . To quote from MAD's FAQ in answer:

Why does digital advertising need a new protocol?
Today’s programmatic advertising ecosystem is broken. The symptoms of its failure are easy to spot. In 2018 alone, ad fraud will cost the industry $51 million per day totaling $18 billion. By the end of 2016, over 600M devices worldwide were using ad blockers (over half of which were mobile) – representing a 30% increase year over year. Ad blocking may be the strongest indicator yet that not only is the system broken – it’s no longer aligned with the very people with whom it’s intended to communicate: the consumer.

Adding insult to injury, ad taxes and ad fraud are at an all-time high, while trust and transparency are at an all-time low. Advertisers are spending more and more to reach consumers, while publishers are making less and less. Yet as costs rise, advertisers still can’t track the customer’s journey or how their budgets are truly spent. There’s no transparency, fraud is rampant, and brand safety is becoming more and more challenging.

We believe OpenRTB is flawed. Its lack of transparency has resulted in multiple intermediaries exploiting its vulnerability. That is where cryptography and blockchain technology can help! Our goal is to combat the problems with OpenRTB by building a new blockchain protocol that will recreate the ecosystem and lay the foundation upon which the entire industry can innovate and thrive.
