Fast Company and Inc. are tightening up their paywalls. Up until a few weeks ago, the Mansueto Ventures-owned publishers would put one new story a day behind a paywall.

It’s hard to deny that AI will have a larger part of media buying even as marketers will stall, resist and negotiate every inch of the way. And who can blame them? The uneasy feeling that handing over control to AI, whether through Googles Performance Max or Metas Advantage+ which each promised easier media buying, puts them further from understanding what theyre actually buying has been gnawing at them for a while.
