If a player gets 20 of the same ad over a certain period of time it counts as 1 impression, and they only get paid for 1 impression. And number impressions depends on the Ads that the Ad provider has to serve in a given region..." I see where it comes from. Unfortunatly I doubt it to be the case. It would be a real unusual deal for a publisher to treat it's premium content like barter space. As well I doubt that the ads we can request are less valuable. Trust me, the message is still in our face and we notice it, even we think we are not connected. Truth is, we consume exactly what the advertiser is looking for and the campaing is fullfilling it's goal 100% even we pretend to be untouced by it.

As mentioned I have never seen such a deal in my ad serving life and I tend to belive it is more the usual CPM based deal. I have worked 15 years for DoubleClick and Google in the adserving technology business and have seen a lot of fancy stuff but no such deals.

A little search gave me some numbers about actual CPM prices for mobile video ads and the span here in Germany is from 60 to 90 Euros per 1000 ads. I asume the pricing is not much different ROW. To me it makes no sense to limit the ad flow as they lose money by doing so.

Yes, there a multiple limiting factors avail and we will never know what is the one that is preventing me from getting an ad. In Germany we only get 10 "official" ads a day due to some insain legal fear. But honestly, they would still get sued for the first gambling or drug ad to a child no matter how small the limit is set,  10 ads/day is still no protection!

But comming back to the OPs finding, the delay between ads can be caused by a bug in the adserver implmentation or it is a feature to lure us into IAP (conspiracy mode off). ;-)

To get a better picture it would be interesting to get data from the user base who is facing such an delay or is getting no ads at all since and where they are in the world. This would allow us to see if it is a local issue or a global thing.

On my side in Germany I do not face any changes on the ads so far. They still come as frequent as before, still got the same amount till I have to reset my AdID to continue on.
