Summary
Centralized ad networks control:
- Who can advertise
- What can be advertised and how
- Who can publish ads
- Which ads are displayed on each page
- How prices are set and revenue shared
Authors speculate that a decentralized mechanism could offer freedom on all of these axes and approach efficiency of centralized networks.
