Challenges and opportunities
Retention versus revenue
Aggressive ad placement lifts revenue this week and loses users next month.
Demand concentration
Reliance on one or two demand sources leaves revenue exposed.
Privacy changes
Platform privacy rules have reduced the signals available for targeting, affecting prices.
Global audiences
Apps attract users in markets where the developer has no advertiser relationships.
