Google’s Offerwall Goes Live
🚨 Our Report
Google has officially launched Offerwall, a recent monetization tool for publishers reeling from declining visitors caused by AI-powered search. Bundled with Google Ad Manager, Offerwall provides publishers with flexible ways to generate revenue, including micropayments, surveys, rewarded ads and more without relying solely on clicks and page views.
🔓 Key Points
Tests across 1,000 publishers revealed an average revenue uplift of 9% during the year-long pilot period.
Offerwall enables publishers to give visitors multiple ways to unlock content, including micropayments, surveys, watching ads and newsletter sign-ups.
During testing, publishers saw an average 9% revenue lift, with India’s Sakal Media Group reporting a 20% increase in revenue and 2,000,000 additional impressions over three months.
🔐 Relevance
AI-generated answers are eating into traditional search user visits. Publishers are losing pageviews and with them ad revenue. Offerwall represents Google’s attempt to stem the tide. While micropayments and surveys aren’t novel concepts, integrating them directly into Ad Manager could simplify experimentation and boost scalability. If it succeeds, this could signal a shift in how content is monetized with less focus on clicks and more on engagement.
Googling a name can reveal more than expected.
Data brokers sell personal info—often for less than a dollar.
What’s publicly available:
Current & past addresses
Phone numbers (even outdated ones)
Family connections
Employment history
Property records
Court documents
This information is bundled and sold to anyone willing to pay.
Even ChatGPT can return surprising details when asked about someone with an online presence.
This isn’t paranoia—it’s probability:
1 in 4 Americans experience identity theft
$1,100 average loss per incident
Over 200 hours to recover
Manually opting out of data brokers is exhausting—195+ forms, 30+ hours, and records often reappear.
Incogni automates the process:
☑︎ Contacts data brokers
☑︎ Forces data deletion
☑︎ Monitors & re-removes data
Stay protected.
How Mandolin cuts weeks per authorization with AI
Mandolin’s infusion‐therapy providers were bogged down by manual back-office tasks, which delayed patient treatment by weeks.
They deployed Mandolin’s AI automation platform, where agentic AI “employees” read clinical notes, contact payers, interact with EHRs and manufacturer portals, and make real-time decisions across entire workflows.
As a result, Mandolin slashed time-to-treatment from weeks to days.
The platform is currently live in over 700 infusion clinics nationwide, up from initial pilots earlier this year.

Microsoft is retiring the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error message after nearly 40 years, replacing it with a simplified Black Screen of Death that provides clearer information about system crashes.
The refreshed design strips away the traditional blue background, frowning face, and QR code in favor of a minimalist black screen that clearly displays the error code and faulty system driver information.
This black screen redesign will roll out "later this summer" alongside an upcoming Quick Machine Recovery feature designed to rapidly restore machines that can't boot, part of Microsoft's efforts to improve Windows resiliency following last year's CrowdStrike incident.
YouTube began rolling out AI-powered video carousels in search results for Premium users on mobile, offering more relevant video recommendations for queries about shopping, places, and activities.
The debut AI search feature is available to Premium users on mobile, with some non-Premium users in the US granted permission to use the conversational AI tool for follow-up questions and summaries.
Google’s Gemini AI models power these features, building on earlier tests and aligning YouTube search with recent AI-driven upgrades in Google Search.
