Technical Implementation Bottlenecks
$Unknown - industry avg conversion 0.5-3% from meter stopsChallenges in preventing bypasses and ensuring accurate metering create manual monitoring needs and suboptimal conversion rates.

Processes involving diverse ad types and systems lead to idle capacity as staff untangles multidimensional puzzles instead of strategic work. Automation case studies show 32% time reduction, indicating prior systemic capacity drain.
Multi-Device Tracking Failures

This frustrates conversion efforts as loyal readers exploit gaps without subscribing. Publishers lose potential subscribers due to inconsistent enforcement.
