The New York Times is juicing up its ad revenue by bringing so-called open programmatic advertising back to its mobile app.
Open programmatic is a methodology that lets any advertiser buy digital ads in real-time.
In 2019, the Times shut down open programmatic ads from its mobile app because it wanted to focus on growing subscriptions and because those ads reportedly slowed the app's load times.
The Times kept programmatic ads on its website.
However, it currently allows Google, Index Exchange, PubMatic, and Magnite among others to sell programmatic ads on its desktop website according to its ads.txt file, which lists the companies publishers allow to sell programmatic ads.
