Now they need to do this with Amazon.


Agreed. The surge of "ads" by Amazon across all their devices, in addition to the claims Amazon ad space grew 25% YoY, warrants serious investigation. By what means were the ads deployed (i.e., did you deploy malicious code to overtake another ad spot at runtime? did that ad contain malware?)? Is your reported data consistent with your actual performance (i.e., was it really a glitch every time, or another con job to target and disadvantage competitors)? Let's see the data, along with the edit history.
