Fake online users make up 40 percent of all web traffic, according to some estimates, yet it does not seem that people in the digital advertising space are interested in unmasking fake clicks.

It is estimated that ad fraud is costing US advertisers $120 billion every year. Many advertisement platforms look the other way when it comes to bots. Why aren’t they addressing the issue? Advertisers like seeing high amounts of traffic, the more traffic the advertiser sees the more they will spend on the advertising platform.

The acquisition of Figma by Adobe was shocking news for all of us at Bluehouse Group. We have always loved Figma and we all appreciate the goals that they set out to achieve within the design space.

Initially the team was a little nervous for what the future holds for Adobe and Figma, to our relief the Figma* *CEO Dylan Field assured that the plan is for Figma to continue operating autonomously.

“The last thing that anyone wants is to disrupt either one of our roadmaps. That means no plans to bring Figma inside of Creative Cloud and no changes to Figma’s pricing.” —Dylan Field

It will be interesting to check back in on Figma a year from now and see if all of this is still true.
