🚀 New features
Added a guide to implementing a native carousel
You can implement a native carousel that increases the ad participation rate to three times that of a standard native placement. BuzzAd carousels support infinite looping and scrolling in both directions to encourage users to view more ads. You can also add an entry point to Feed, the BuzzAd placement with the most ads. Preview the base reward automatically granted on Feed entry to encourage users to open Feed.
Follow Buzzvil's guide to build a carousel that keeps showing ads naturally as users browse.
