#12Nice as it is to see the advertising industry in trouble, this will put even more control into the hands of google.
Why is it nice to see the advertising industry in trouble? Those are people with jobs and families to take care of.
You missed the obvious sarcasm as in "even more control into the hands of google" is not a good thing.

I think you missed the "Nice as it is to ...," which suggests it's not sarcasm.

#14infos: http://allthingsd.com/20130128/sales-talks-fell-through-so-a... but sales talks “unfortunately fell through a couple weeks ago.” I wonder how often this happens. Just this week another company (own3d.tv) suffered the same fate.
Sometimes things don't pan out as well as all parties hope, and it flows downhill.
I'd much rather see a company close up because they know they are no longer sustainable than to try and extend beyond where they can pay the people that are supporting them. (http://www.destiny.gg/n/own3d-tv-a-beginners-guide-to-being-...)

#15I received this email a few minutes back. It is sad to see this happening and that too on such short notice. Used to use it along with Adsense, and it was the only good alternative.
I am certainly going to miss the feature where they automatically swapped their ad-code to any competitors if theirs din't cross the minimum CPC threshold.
If I recall correctly, the CEO/Founder of Adbrite is a member of HN. Maybe he can shed some light.

#16AdBrite was a great network. Their payout rates were by far the best of any network I've tried.
Full-page ads were a killer revenue source, I would get 4x the amount I would have gotten on Adsense.

#17Why aren't they selling off the campaigns, users, or other assets? Just a complete shutdown?

own3d has not been paying streamers for a few months[0], and there was recently a public backlash against them.

#19I tried out Adbrite last year for an ad placement at footer of one of my websites because I couldn't put any more Adsense on the page, it wasn't too bad but it was nothing compared to how much Adsense generated. It was still better than Clicksor and Bidvertiser. The thing I didn't like with Adbrite was that they had too many "spammy" advertisements.

The same can be said of a whole bunch of people, from black hat SEO guys to arms dealers and from social gaming psychologists to the guy in his ice cream truck.
That has nothing to do with how one rates the impact of their business on society and our lives.
