For example, imagine a feature that predicts fluctuations before they happen. This would allow advertisers to plan better and avoid surprises.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Transparency is essential, but so is giving users tools to act on that transparency.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-this-matters-for-advertisers\"><\/span><b>Why This Matters for Advertisers<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re running a business, these spending shifts can have real consequences.
