Do you turn on Ads under services?

    I basically followed the idea of this guide to set up my ads, with the exception that I'm using Monetization instead of Advertisements because as I understand it Advertisements is deprecated
    https://unityads.unity3d.com/help/unity/integration-guide-unity#basic-ads-implementation

    I see that there's also Ads under services. If I turn this on, the ads get initialized twice (once per my initialize script, and once I guess by the service). How do you implement your ads?

    I'm wondering if I set something up wrong because I am seeing an extremely low eCPM. Some days, it's 0, but my game is also very new with few impressions per day.

    I would recommend using Advertisements namespace over the Monetization namespace. The Advertisements namespace is not deprecated.

    You can install ads via the Services Window and Package Manager OR via the Asset Store. If you try to do both, you will get build errors in your project:

    It can take some time (around 5000 impressions) for our system to start generating consistent revenue for your app. If you haven't already, I would recommend taking a look at the Best Practices Guide:

    Sorry for the delay in responding. I was wondering why you recommend Advertisements over Monetization? Is it just preference or is there a reason?

    Thank you for your detailed answer.

    That is where we will focus future feature work. The Monetization namespace is only necessary for specific features, so if you aren't using them, then you should use the Advertisements namespace.
