The true cost and code of parsing the integrality of (french speaking) bluesky ATPROTO in python

I actually run from my family outdated PC a full scan in realtime of bluesky with some python code. And then later : - AppViews are actual "application backends". Bluesky operates the bsky.app appview, i.e. what people know as the Bluesky app. Importantly, in ATProto, there is no reason for everyone to run their own AppView. You can run one (and it costs about $300/mo to run a Bluesky AppView ingesting all data currently on the network in real time if you want to do that).

Bluesky CEO: I turned a Twitter research project into a rival company'we've achieved what a lot of people said was impossible'

Her pathway to her current job was unconventional: She was originally hired by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey to run an internal research project called Bluesky. The vision, essentially, was an open-source, "decentralized" version of Twitter where individual moderators, unaffiliated with either company, could host their own versions of the social media platform each with their own rules around content moderation, data privacy and censorship.

There Are No Sellers, Only Resellers; BlueSky's Blue Ocean (For Marine Biologists) | AdExchanger

Put another way, SSPs are being cut out of deals as much as possible in the interest of supply-path optimization - which means more demand is flowing through OpenPath, TTD's direct connection to publishers. Oh, and TTD gets more revenue in the long run. But should all SSPs really be classified as resellers? Under the IAB's ads.txt spec , publishers can declare SSPs as either direct or indirect sellers of their ad inventory. And if the SSP is authorized as a direct seller in ads.txt, then it "is indeed a direct supply chain," according to Jounce . But a recent update to TTD's partner portal says: "We consider SSPs to be intermediaries because they are not a direct path to inventory." That's why, when a publisher sells inventory through an SSP and OpenPath, TTD's Kokai platform penalizes the SSP path and prioritizes OpenPath . TTD defends this approach by noting some SSPs take exorbitant cuts of publisher revenue and claiming that OpenPath funnels more money to pubs. But one anonymous source tells Digiday they've seen publisher payouts drop 50% as TTD directs more spend to OpenPath.
