Most ad network requirement tables online are quoting documentation the networks have already replaced. Mediavine no longer gates on 50,000 sessions. Raptive cut 100,000 pageviews to 25,000. Both figures were true. Neither is true now.

The ad network requirements tables ranking right now are all stale. Mediavine: 50,000 sessions is dead, it is $5,000/yr ad revenue. Raptive: 100k is now 25k pageviews. Ezoic: no minimum became 250,000 users. I linked the source on every figure: pubsignal.in/tools/ad-network-requirements-checker
