Summary
This episode is a crash course in launching ads the right way.
Not theory. Not “best practices”. But what actually matters when you go from zero ads to meaningful ad LTV.
Felix walks through:
How to think about ads during soft launch
Which metrics actually matter early
When Unity-only is good enough (and when it’s not)
How to choose mediation without overthinking it
Which ad networks are worth integrating first
Why AdApp-ads.txt is non-optional
And the most ignored problem in monetization: aggressive end cards killing retention
This is the episode you wish you watched before shipping ads.
