Google Wants Online Ad Improvement Within Months, Not Years (wsj.com)

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday October 21, 2015 @10:56AM from the hurry-up dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Speaking at the Wall Street Journal's WSJD Live Conference, Google's senior vice president of adverts and commerce Sridhar Ramaswamy has said (paywalled) that advertisers need to address the shortcomings of online ads within 'months'. "This is essential to our survival" said Ramaswamy. "We're talking about getting this in a time frame of months rather than years. We need to get going on this." Ramaswamy was referring to recent commitment from the advertising industry to halt the rise of adblocking services by addressing common reader annoyances such as autoplay video, overly complex and slow-loading content, and excessive tracking.

Can you read? If not, learn it. If you can, then stop asking stupid questions.
Hint: Why would I want more competition if I thought DuckDuckGo or Bing was much better than Google?
