A buyer running exchange offers told us their automated-bid campaigns quietly trained themselves to chase cheap junk clicks, because the platform optimizes to its own conversion signal, not your deposit event.
When to let the machine drive —
— Automated/rule-based bidding: great once you've fed it clean S2S deposit data and have volume. It scales a proven winner faster than you can.
— Manual bidding: mandatory in week one of any crypto offer, before the algo has enough real conversions. Feed it garbage signals early and it optimizes toward garbage forever.
Reportedly the costly error is going auto from day one on a new crypto vertical. Start manual, prove the signal, then hand over the wheel. Watch this.
