Thanks for the comment Paul. Google is a great exception to the rule and you make some great points. Being connected to the content is important and in a content environment (vs. intention based), the challenge is the level of relevance. The best native executions leverage the influential content creators that have a strong connection with the audience. Within that filter, the advertiser is limited to the size of that audience & therefore cannot scale without leveraging display.
