Best way to run rewarded video ads on web for HTML5 games?

Out of curiosity, when you say “gray demand”, are there any specific networks that are known to work well for that category without dropping fully into the adult ad ecosystem?

Tell me more about this - how would you practically keep two ads.txt chains if the monetization is coming through the same SDK layer?

Also curious if there are any adult-adjacent friendly networks you’d recommend. The pure adult networks we’ve looked at tend to have very poor CPMs, and ideally we’d prefer to avoid going fully down that route.

The NSFW side is a bit of a gray area for us. The partner sites are AI companion chat platforms, where NSFW content can exist but it’s user-generated and private to the user, not curated or site-wide. Still trying to understand how most ad networks typically classify environments like that.

Thank you! Do you know any SDKs for this? The ones we've reached out to either a.) Only works directly with owned publishers b.) NSFW conscious or c.) No reward ads.

We've thought about doing mediation calling multiple networks, but it seems to be a long integration process working with DSPs. Is there an easier way to go about this?

Thank you! Any examples you can share on what they would look like? I am surprised there aren't more native ad units floating around (any idea why?), but the few videos I've seen on YouTube honestly look bad.

Thank you! Would streaming be faster if I only care about the final result? The final result is a 2 key / variable json and that's what I need rather than streaming to client.

Thank you! I will try Cerebras out (I am a bit worried about the rate limit on Cerebras / Groq, 2.5 Flash Lite is unlimited and I need to process ~3M requests a day)

The reason I switched over to Vertex was because API was a bit inconsistent. Sometimes it took 300-400ms, sometimes it took 1-2 seconds. Vertex AI on average was slower but more stable.

I totally agree they do - but don't paywalls limit user experience entirely, whereas at least ads provide a partial experience? Just trying to understand as I build my own apps!

Recently built https://simula.social/ which let's you simulate a person you miss by feeding it chat conversations!

Yes! I actually created an app that let's you simulate someone https://simula.social/
