Facebook announced it is pre-fetching to help speed up advertisers pages, and slow pages will factor in to the bid price. What often isn’t discussed is that Facebook Mobile ads are a way to get around ad blockers… so a go-to for advertising arbitrage, in the short-term good for Facebook but really they want that revenue on their books. This bolstering is only going to continue.
Facebook recent moves:
- Facebook ushers in a new wave of transparency, sharing pubslisher spend on native content with the brand.

The trajectory here is clear – Facebook wants to clean up the whole industry.
