Pixalate this week released the Q1 2023 CTV Device Spoofing Report to reveal how often non-Roku devices are disguising themselves as Roku devices in the open programmatic advertising ecosystem. Find out more in this blog and get free access to the report below.
We also released the April 2023 Mobile Publisher Trust Index (PTI), a global approach to quality measurement and monthly rankings of the world's Connected TV (CTV) and mobile apps, bringing transparency to the programmatic advertising ecosystem.

We followed up on the Q1 2023 Abandoned Mobile Apps Report, analyzing apps from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store that have been “abandoned.” An app is considered abandoned if it has not been updated in at least two years. We thought it would be beneficial to highlight some of the most interesting findings from the report in this blog. Access the full report below.

Per the MRC, “'Fraud' is not intended to represent fraud as defined in various laws, statutes and ordinances or as conventionally used in U.S. Court or other legal proceedings, but rather a custom definition strictly for advertising measurement purposes. Also per the MRC, “‘Invalid Traffic’ is defined generally as traffic that does not meet certain ad serving quality or completeness criteria, or otherwise does not represent legitimate ad traffic that should be included in measurement counts. Among the reasons why ad traffic may be deemed invalid is it is a result of non-human traffic (spiders, bots, etc.), or activity designed to produce fraudulent traffic.”
