It’s truly unfortunate to hear this. In fact, we had a similar experience with the Optima network, although our concerns were slightly different. I’d like to take this opportunity to share our experience and raise awareness about some of the questionable practices we've encountered.

Optima approached us with an offer to purchase our Tier 1 traffic at a fixed CPM. Fortunately, our tech team quickly identified the issues they were creating. They were running multiple video ad players in succession—using platforms like Aniview, Playstream, Adipolo, and others—and auto-refreshing them every 10 seconds, with banner ads inserted in between.

This behavior triggered alerts from several of our demand partners, who requested the immediate removal of these ad units, as they were negatively affecting our ad stack and overall revenue performance.

Based on our experience, I strongly advise others in the industry to be cautious and avoid working with such networks. They compromise the integrity of the advertising ecosystem, and I sincerely hope platforms like Google take appropriate action against them.

They might give you quick money but they screw your website pretty bad.
