So facebook audience network is now giving the notification in the FAN dashboard saying:
"Starting May 31, new Android apps must be set up with bidding. We'll only use bidding to fill ads in Android apps from September 30, so all current waterfall apps will need to move to bidding by this date to continue monetizing with Audience Network."

Does that mean bidding (or mediation) is now mandatory ? Even if you are not using any mediation network previously ? So this mean we won't be able to use facbeook network as a stand alone ad network, it must be used through any other mediation partner like Google admob?

What's confusing me is this last option , when you click "Move to bidding" there's an option saying " No mediation platform - (Audience network only) " Does this mean we can still keep using facebook audience network without using any third party mediation network ?

Does anyone use FAN monetization for apps?
