So anyway, I'd be like, oh, as a financialist, uh we do auctions this way, but like no, like the people who know the auctions are the people doing online ads.
voice-verified
But anyway, Amazon does online ads and they run auctions for spots.

And basically, like the FTC's contention is that they say they run a second price auction where like

voice-verified
