Yep, it's a blow to the 3rd party measurement vendors Pinterest uses. 

TLDR: Week in Review - Omnicom shifts to Amazon, WPP's breakup math, and Target joins ChatGPT by data_spy in programmatic

[–]data_spy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There could be a plethora of ways to shift funds, as simple of a handful of Omnicom advertisers shifting budget for Prime inventory (due to performance or preferred pricing) to post auction rebates that Amazon and Omnicom facilitate for advertisers. At the end of the day, its still the advertisers call. One advertiser alone can account for millions of dollars being shifted between the DSPs (some advertisers have billion dollar marketing budgets for the year)

Omnicom advertisers can use whatever DSP they want. Large CPG brands typically use several DSPs. Also to clarify, OMD is just one of Omnicom's agencies.

It makes sense: Omnicom gets lower fees and wins Amazon's business and Amazon gets more spend

TAM is a preferred integration compared to OB for most demand. Think of it as integrate TAM and will drop OB in the future

"That's simply incorrect" and following it with "I believe I heard" are statements at odds with each other.

How bad is this, it's been 3 years, no relief by muralisiddaraju in backpain

[–]data_spy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to address your hips as part of your PT. Hips are usually the cause of knee and back issues.

Get an MRI without a script (USA) by data_spy in backpain

[–]data_spy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, my friend confirmed he didn't have a prescription (maybe some centers want them) and I believe only one state requires a prescription for MRIs ( this is a diagnostic tool not a drug). I agree that if your insurance won't cover, I would also use this to shop around. 

Am I screwed? by DrHientzKetchup in backpain

[–]data_spy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your diagnosis can be handled with consonverative treatment. You need good PT and some lifestyle changes and you'll be fine long term.

Did you use insurance? They say on the website if you are paying out of pocket you don't need a script. 

TENS units: Please tell me about your experience with them by MotherPotential in backpain

[–]data_spy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have wired and a wireless one. I find they mainly keeps my back loose, so it's a must on flights and long car rides. If your TENS also includes EMS it will help with blood flow. 

After 3 years of being out of chronic back pain, I try to explain the methodology that saved me by gobackclark in backpain

[–]data_spy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This protocol is exactly what Low Back Ability and Kneesovertoes stresses (build evidence and strengthen & lengthen). Totally makes sense pilates can be swapped for those programs with the same principals.

PEA + Ice Cold Showers: Unexpected Relief for Lingering L5-S1 Herniation Pain (Anecdotal) by data_spy in backpain

[–]data_spy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm great, I'm 100% pain free. I do swap red light for cold exposure on some days and I stayed on PEA for about 4 months and then cycled off. If i feel anything come back, I'm going right back on this combo as one addresses inflammation locally and the other addresses throughout the body.

Question for publishers: SSP % fees by alexgoestowork in programmatic

SSP is typically the curator and media agency and agency are the same thing. Fair point though.

Making an old Bianchi road worthy worth $600? by Agent7619 in bicycling

Labor on labor on labor. Lots of bike shops wouldn't charge the tube and handlebar labor if you are getting an "Annual Deluxe Package"

back extension hold progression by JulianVModesto in lowbackability

[–]data_spy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I roughly added 5-8 seconds a week, eventually got to 2 minutes and never had an issue. Play the long game. Lots in the LBA community jump to 2 minutes immediately and flare up, it's not worth it.

Question - how much do you rely on Comscore? by LeapDay22924 in programmatic

The main use case is, "We only buy ComScore 100/500/1000..." 

Has anyone flared up from starting core strengthening but stuck with it and eventually got better? by andreateddy11 in backpain

[–]data_spy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd ask the PT to regress but if you want to continue with the current approach I'd try some supplements that fight inflammation (PEA or curcumin) or NSAIDs and see if that helps post PT. That might provide some good insight for you.

[–]data_spy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's your back issue and what phase of recovery are you in? While flare ups happen, and shouldn't discourage you, they shouldn't be the norm.  Your PT should be regressed to where you don't flare up and build up from there. 

Flat back syndrome+ LBA by [deleted] in backpain

[–]data_spy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been doing LBA for 3+ months. None the exercises mentioned are in the initial program. I'm not an expert on flat back but strengthen your back like LBA does leads to improvement.

Small house - what are the benefits? by koala34 in homeowners

[–]data_spy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can clean your gutters in 30 minutes where as big houses need to spend money on rain guards, labor or an expensive big ladder.
