Description

Reduced delivery of Brave ads campaigns with subdivision targeting

Steps to Reproduce

  1. View ads (with state level targeting, catalog must also have ads for other US states)

Actual result:

Ads/advertisers do not round robin if a campaign has state level targeting for another state

Expected result:

Ads/advertisers should round robin if a campaign has state level targeting for another state

Reproduces how often:

Easily reproduced

Brave version (brave://version info)

Version/Channel Information:

  • Can you reproduce this issue with the current release? Yes
  • Can you reproduce this issue with the beta channel? Yes
  • Can you reproduce this issue with the nightly channel? Yes

Other Additional Information:

  • Does the issue resolve itself when disabling Brave Shields? N/A
  • Does the issue resolve itself when disabling Brave Rewards? N/A
  • Is the issue reproducible on the latest version of Chrome? N/A

Miscellaneous Information:

Round robin does not work if ads are excluded due to state level targeting. This will also help with high CPU usage as a user will not be stuck in the state where there are no ads. And if they are, follow up performance fixes are being worked on
